16/c =8

That means 16 divided by same random number "c" makes the number 8. This also means that 8 times that random number you divided by makes 16.

Using this, you can rearrange the equation in various ways.

16/c =8

16 = c*8

c = 16/8

We only really need that last one, c = 16/8,

16/8 = 2

c = 2
