Algebra Difficulty 2.0 Junior Prove it United Kingdom

When I noticed that $2^4 = 4^2$ , I tried to find other pairs of numbers with this property. Trying 2 and 16, I realised that $2^{16}$ is larger than $16^2$ . How many times larger is $2^{16}$ ?

Want a route through all this instead of an archive? The track puts 2,604 problems in a working order, from Junior Challenge level to the IMO shortlist.
