To multiply the numbers, let's first write them in fraction form:

\[
16 \cdot \left( \frac{-5}{1} \cdot \frac{1}{8} \right)
\]

We can multiply the fractions as follows:

\[
16 \cdot \frac{-5 \cdot 1}{1 \cdot 8} = 16 \cdot \frac{-5}{8}
\]

Now, we simplify:

\[
16 \cdot \frac{-5}{8} = \frac{16 \cdot -5}{8} = \frac{-80}{8} = -10
\]

So, the final answer is:

\[
\boxed{-10}
\]
