The phrase "16 more than the product of 5 and a number" can be expressed as follows:
1. Let the number be represented by a variable, such as \( x \).
2. The product of 5 and the number is represented as \( 5x \).
3. "16 more than" this product can be written as \( 5x + 16 \).
Therefore, the algebraic expression that represents the phrase is:
\[
5x + 16
\]
