6.56V should be 0.656V.

By Thevenins:
Vth =Vcc*(R2/R1+R2) = 2.44V
Ib = Vcc/(R1+R2) = 0.298mA
Rth = R1//R2 = 5973.51ohms.

Vb = Vth-Ib * Rth = 0.656V.

The base-emitter junction is open because of reverse bias condition in BE junction.
0.656V<0.7V.

Since the base emitter junction is reverse biased instead of forward bias, the voltage will be zero meaning the circuit is opened.

In the figure voltmeter across Re is ZERO means there is no voltage or current in emitter resistor this happens only when the base-emitter junction is reverse biased.

Not understand this, someone explains it clearly.
