As a mathematician that had the same initial reaction ... I howled at your response and refrained from piling on. That was the post of the day friend ... lol ... great job.
The 92270 Forensic Language Pathology Lab reminds you (& all others) to refer to this 12-month calendar range properly as twenty sixteen not two thousand sixteen or two thousand & sixteen.
George Orwell famously wrote 1984 not one thousand nine hundred & eighty-four.
Alternatively, you could say:
20 16 = 14 10 (hex) = fourteen ten
20 16 = 24 20 (octal) = twenty-four twenty, or
2016 = 7E0 (hex) = seven-E-zero
= 3740 (octal) = thirty-seven forty
= 11111100000 (binary) = one one one one one one zero zero zero zero zero
You can see the hex & octal groupings easily:
111 1110 0000 = 7 E 0
11 111 100 000 = 3 7 4 0
Is clear, yes?
