Let the number be x

-240/x=16

x=-240/16

x=-15

EmmaCarlos: -240/-3850. It means denominator is greater. But if denominator is more than a numerator the quotient should be a fraction. Right?
EmmaCarlos: According to my answer if you divide -240 by -15 you will get 16 .So it matched with the question. Hope you got it.

let the number be x

(-240) ÷ x = 16

-240 ×16 = x

-3840 = x

-240 ÷ -3840 = 16
