help with tempo markings needed, thanks

Hi.

Sorry, silly question, as theory is not my strong side.

I'm playing Chopin's etude. It has tempo marking of 176 for quarter note.
The song has mainly 16th notes.

I can set my metronome to tick 16th notes. 
Please, what would be correct tempo for 16th notes? 
Do I divide the 176 by two, or four?

Thanks

    No, you would multiply by 4 and you may not be able to go that high in tempo - 176 times 4 = 704.
