To solve the equation \( 2(16)8 \), first we need to clarify what is being expressed here. It's not clear if there's a specific operation or expression you intended.
However, if we interpret \( 2(16)8 \) as multiplying \( 2 \) and \( 16 \) together and then multiplying by \( 8 \), we can simplify it.
Calculating step by step:
-
First, multiply \( 16 \) and \( 2 \): \[ 2 \times 16 = 32 \]
-
Then, multiply the result by \( 8 \): \[ 32 \times 8 = 256 \]
Now, the result \( 256 \) is a real number. To express it in terms of a complex number in the standard form \( a + bi \), we can express \( 256 \) as: \[ 256 + 0i \]
Thus, the complex number in standard form is: \[ \boxed{256 + 0i} \]
