It relates to computers using binary. Many numbers are powers of 2 in computing. 65536 is 2 to the power of 16. In other words if you keep doubling up 2 you will come to 65536 as follows:

2

4

8

16

32

64

128

256

512

1,024

2,048

4,096

8,192

16,384

32,768

65,536

Many of those numbers occur in computing, such as in measurements of memory in your computer. Older versions of Excel had 256 columns, a number you will see above, and the newer versions have 16,384 which is also in the list above. Newer versions of Excel have even more rows, having 1,048,576, and if you keep doubling, you will arrive at that value:

131,072

262,144

524,288

1,048,576
