how can i find Open loop Transfer Function from Closed loop Transfer Function

A unity feedback system is having Closed loop transfer function T(s)=361/s^2 16s 361. how can i find Open loop Transfer Function and dc gain of the system using matlab

From the basics of control theory you should know that for a given system G(s), the closed loop transfer function with unity feedback P(s) is;

   P(s) = G(s)/(1+G(s));

From there you can do some algebra. Since it is a SISO case, I will not care about the order of multiplication;

1.P(s) = G(s)/(1+G(s)) 
2.P(s)*(1+G(s)) = G(s)
3.P(s)+P(s)G(s) = G(s)
4.P(s) = G(s)-P(s)G(s)
5.P(s) = G(s)*(1-P(s))
6.G(s) = P(s)/(1-P(s))

If you followed it so far, it should be easy to see that if

P(s) = 361/(s^2+16*s+361)

then;

G(s) = 361/(s^2+16*s)

To get the gain you can simply plug s=0*1i into the transfer function. Since G(s) has a pole at zero, DC gain of G(s) is infinity. Alternatively you can use bode() command to draw bode diagram of the G(s) and see the DC gain, or there is a dcgain() command in Matlab.
