  • 65536
rdfs:comment
  • 65536 is a positive integer equal to \(2^{16} = 2^{2^{2^{2}}} = 2 \uparrow\uparrow 4 = 2 \uparrow\uparrow\uparrow 3\). It is the largest power tower of 2's that can be expressed in a compact digital form (as \(2 \uparrow\uparrow 5\) is an integer of 19729 decimal digits). It is also the only nontrivial result of pentation expressible in compact digital form — \(^52\) has 19729 decimal digits, and \(^62\) has well over a googol decimal digits. It is found commonly in computer science, being the number of different values expressible in 16 bits (a short integer).

It is found commonly in computer science, being the number of different values expressible in 16 bits (a short integer). Its full name in English is "sixty-five thousand five hundred thirty-six." Sbiis Saibian calls this number octal-clover mite. Username5243 calls this number Binary-Dooquol or Binary-Tootol, and it's equal to 2[2]4 = 2[3]3 in Username5243's Array Notation.
