Yes; the following ratios:
____________________________
  \frac{2}{3} =  \frac{16}{24}   ;
_______________________________
do, in fact, form a proportion.
_________________________
Note that the fraction, or proportion, "\frac{2}{3}", cannot be reduced further into whole numbers.
___________________________________
We are given:  
____________________________
 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{16}{24}  .
_________________________________
The question is: Can "\frac{16}{24}" be further reduced into whole numbers—specifically, does "\frac{16}{24}" EQUAL "\frac{2}{3}"  ?
________________________________

→ 16/24 =?  2/3 ?
______________________
→ (16 ÷ 8) / (24 ÷ 8) = (2) / (3) = 2/3 . Yes.
_____________________________________
→  As such,  \frac{2}{3} = \frac{16}{24}  ; and the following ratios:

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{16}{24} ;

form a proportion.
_____________________________
Also, given:

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{16}{24} ;
____________________________________
→ If the "cross-products" are equal, then the ratios form a proportion.
_______________________________
→ Does (2) * (24) =? (16) * (3) ?
____________________________
→ Does  48 =? 48  ?  Yes!
____________________________
→ As such, the following ratios;

→  \frac{2}{3} = \frac{16}{24} ; do, in fact, form a proportion.
