Division Table for 16
Each row divides 16 by numbers 1 through 12. Division answers "how many groups?" and is the inverse of multiplication.
Exact rows: 16 ÷ 1 = 16, 16 ÷ 2 = 8, 16 ÷ 4 = 4, 16 ÷ 8 = 2; every other row leaves a decimal, rounded to four places here. Row 2 is the halving row: 16 ÷ 2 = 8 splits 16 exactly in two. Every correct quotient times its divisor returns 16, which is the 16 times table read backward — division and multiplication are one table seen from two ends.

What is a quotient?
The quotient is the result of a division. In this table every quotient is the right-hand value, from 16 ÷ 1 = 16 onward.
