Fill in the Blank

A logistics coordinator is simplifying the expression (4p3q2)2\left(\frac{4p^{-3}}{q^2}\right)^2 to update a cargo volume report. After applying the power properties, the coordinator reaches the intermediate form 16p6q4\frac{16p^{-6}}{q^4}. To finish the simplification using only positive exponents, the term p6p^{-6} must be moved to the denominator. In the final simplified form 16pnq4\frac{16}{p^n q^4}, what is the value of the exponent nn that replaces the negative exponent?
