    16

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The quotient of a number (x) and 4 is written x/4. 56 less than that is ...

    (x/4) - 56

    The problem statement tells us the value of this is - 52, so we have ...

    (x/4) - 56 = - 52

    Add 56 to both sides of this equation, and you get ...

    x/4 = 4

    Multiply both sides of this equation by 4 and you get ...

    x = 16

    The value of the unknown number is 16.
