Let's define the unknown number as \( x \). According to the sentence, "The quotient of a number and 8 is 16," we can translate this into the equation:
\[
\frac{x}{8} = 16
\]
To solve for \( x \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by 8:
\[
x = 16 \times 8
\]
Calculating the right side gives us:
\[
x = 128
\]
So, the solution to the equation is:
\[
\boxed{128}
\]
\[
\frac{x}{8} = 16
\]
To solve for \( x \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by 8:
\[
x = 16 \times 8
\]
Calculating the right side gives us:
\[
x = 128
