The time signature with the bottom figure 16 implies that the semiquaver is the unit beat. For example, 3/16 implies that there are three semiquavers in a measure. In compound times, the unit beat is dotted quaver.
This time signature provides four 16th notes (semiquavers) in a measure. That is itself one quarter note from value.
The bottom note of a time signature determines the value of a beat. For example in 3/4 time (4 at the bottom:quarter note beats), a quarter note takes one beat. In 3/2 time (2 at bottom:half note beats), a quarter note takes half a beat.
quarter note
It really depends on your time signature (that is what defines a beat as). In terms of the most common time signature 4/4, the note that has a rhythmic value of three beats is called a dotted half note.
...is a half note when, in the time signature, the quarter note = 1 beat (any time signature/4). In any time/8, it would be a quarter note. Etc, etc...

In a 6/8 time signature, the dotted quarter note gets the beat.
It depends what the time signature is; if the time signature is 4/4 then a note worth half a beat would be an eighth-note. If the time signature is in say 6/8, then half a beat would be a sixteenth-note. Usually music is in quarter beats, so most probably an eighth-note for you.
The bottom note of a time signature determines the value of a beat. For example in 3/4 time (4 at the bottom:quarter note beats), a quarter note takes one beat. In 3/2 time (2 at bottom:half note beats), a quarter note takes half a beat.

A minim, since 2 2 is a simple duple time signature.
The bottom number in a time signature indicates the type of note that receives one beat in the music.

To properly notate a dotted eighth note in 6/8 time signature, you would write it as a single eighth note followed by a dot. This means the note is held for three sixteenth note beats in total.
To determine the time signature of a musical piece using a time signature calculator, you input the number of beats in a measure and the type of note that receives one beat. The calculator will then provide you with the correct time signature for the piece based on this information.

The 4 8 time signature indicates that there a four beats per measure and each beat is an eighth note.
