Welcome to the forum.
G is usually 1:22.5 in scale and 45mm track, representing metre gauge. There are other scales from 1:22 - 1:32 running on the same track.
16mm is on both 32mm and 45 mm, representing 2 and 3 ft gauge and is 1:19 Scale.
In essence, they are close enough for anyone with metre gauge and 3 ft to run both together....

GAUGE VERSUS SCALE
Gauge is the distance between the rails of the track in the scale chosen. Scale is the proportion of the model to the full-size item. Therefore, 4mm:1ft scale should be more correct in describing a layout, whereas OO gauge should really only refer to the track gauge.
