Just trying to understand network subnetting a little better. I have been given a problem in dividing a network using IP 10.0.0.0/8 into 5 department units with 200 computers each. What would the IP table ranges look like?

There are lots of ways to do this.
Absent further requirements I would be inclined to simply break this into a number of subnets, each with about 65534 useable addresses. I'd do this by using the second octet to define the department - thus
10.1.x.x. Would be Dept 1 10.2.x.x would be Dept 2 . .
In this case you would specify a netmask of 255.255.0.0 - meaning the first 2 digits are not changeable and define the dept, and there can be over 300 depts eventually set up, and the 2 rightmost digits mean up to 65k users per dept.
