To calculate the number of 4-number combinations possible with 16 numbers, you would use the formula for combinations, which is nCr = n! / r!(n-r)!. In this case, n = 16 (the total number of numbers) and r = 4 (the number of numbers in each combination). Plugging these values into the formula, you would calculate 16C4 = 16! / 4!(16-4)! = 1820. Therefore, there are 1820 possible 4-number combinations with 16 numbers.

Assuming that "number" means digits and that it is permutations (rather than combinations) that are required, the answer is 816 which is 281.475 trillion (approx).
If order matters and a number cannot be repeated, then there are 16x15x14x13 = 43680 different combinations. If order does not matter then you must divide by the number of ways you can rearrage the same 4 numbers i.e. divide by 4x3x2x1=24 so you can select 4 numbers from a group of 16 in 43680/24 = 1820 ways. In mathematical terms there are 43680 permutations of 16 numbers taken 4 at a time and 1820 combinations of 16 number taken 4 at a time.
There are 9 1-digit numbers and 16-2 digit numbers. So a 5 digit combination is obtained as:Five 1-digit numbers and no 2-digit numbers: 126 combinationsThree 1-digit numbers and one 2-digit number: 1344 combinationsOne 1-digit numbers and two 2-digit numbers: 1080 combinationsThat makes a total of 2550 combinations. This scheme does not differentiate between {13, 24, 5} and {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. Adjusting for that would complicate the calculation considerably and reduce the number of combinations.
16.5 is the median. A median is the middle number of a set of numbers in order. If there are an even amount of numbers, as in this case, it is the number half way between the two middle numbers, in this case 16 and 17.
16 of them.
