See a solution process below:

Divide each side of the equation by #color(red)(16)# to solve for #m# while keeping the equation balanced:

#(16m)/color(red)(16) = 208/color(red)(16)#

#(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(16)))m)/cancel(color(red)(16)) = 13#

#m = 13#

#color(blue)(13)#

#16m = 208#

Divide both sides by #16#:

#(cancel(16)m)/cancel(16) = 208/16#

#m = 208/16 = color(blue)(13)#
