It is $256$ .

You just have to get the divisor $(40)$ and multiply by the quotient $(6)$ , then add the remainder $(16)$ .

So we have: $(40.6) + 16 = 256$

$256$

Suppose, the number is $x$

When it (means $x$ ) is divided by $40$ , the quotient is $6$ and remainder is $16$ .

Quotient of $6$ tells that $40$ can go in that number $x$ , $6$ times and then it has $16$ as remainder.

So, the number $x$ = $40xx6 +16$ = $240+16$ = $256$
