The number of neutrons in an element can be determined by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the Atomic Mass number (which is the sum of protons and neutrons). For an element with an atomic mass of 16, if we consider the most common isotope of oxygen (which has an atomic number of 8), it would have 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons. Thus, the element with an atomic mass of 16 typically has 8 neutrons.
