Egyptian numerals A special symbol represents a specified grouping value. For example a (picture
of a hand) represents 5. The Roman numerals and the Egyptian numbering
represent each order of magnitude with a special symbol. Note that this will in
some cases limit how high a numbering system may count because a new
symbol needs to be developed for each successive grouping. For example, the
number 1,475,268 is represented in the Egyptian numbering system as follows:

Each of the magnitudes of 10 was represented in the above number, for
example the 4 frogs represent 4 hundred thousands and the 5 lotus flowers
represent 5 thousands, etc. In this numbering system, only the magnitudes of
10 that are used are expressed in the written number. The number 5,060 is
thus represented as:

The Egyptians had a bases 10 system of hieroglyphs for numerals. By
this we mean that they has separate symbols for one unit, one ten, one
hundred, one thousand, one ten thousand, one hundred thousand, and
one million.
Here are the numeral hieroglyphs

To make up the number 276, for example, fifteensymbols were required: two "hundred" symbols, seven"ten" symbols, and six "unit" symbols. The numbersappeared thus:

Here is another example:

Roman Numerals
Symbols
Roman numerals are based on seven symbols: a stroke
(identified with the letter I) for a unit, a chevron(identified with the letter V) for a five, a cross-stroke(identified with the letter X) for a ten, a C (identifiedas an abbreviation of Centum) for a hundred, etc.:

Symbols are iterated to produce multiples of the decimal
(1, 10, 100, 1,000) values, with V, L, D substituted for a
multiple of five, and the iteration continuing: I "1", II "2", III
"3", V "5", VI "6", VII "7", etc., and the same for other bases:
X "10", XX "20", XXX "30", L "50", LXXX "80"; CC "200",DCC "700", etc.At the fourth iteration, a subtractive
principlemay be employed, with the base placed beforethe
higher base: IIII or IV "4", VIIII or IX "9", XXXX or XL "40",LXXXX or XC "90", CCCC or CD "400", DCCCC or CM
"900".

The Romans used only what are called capital (upper case) letters in
modern usage. In the Middle Ages, minuscule(lower case) letters were
developed, and these are now also commonly called Roman numerals:
i, ii, iii, iv, etc.Also in medieval use was the substitution ofjfor a final i
to end numbers, such as iijfor 3 or vijfor 7. This was not an additional
symbol, but merely a swashvariant of i.It is used today, especially in
medical prescriptions, to prevent tampering with or misinterpretation
of a number after it is written.
For large numbers (4,000 and above), a bar can be placed above a base
numeral, or parentheses placed around it, to indicate multiplicationby
1,000, although the Romans themselves often just wrote out the "M"s:]

A practical way to write a Roman number is to consider themodernArabic numeralsystem, and separately convert thethousands, hundreds, tens, and ones as given in the chart
above. So, for instance, 1234 may be thought of as "onethousand and two hundreds and three tens and four",obtaining M (one thousand) + CC (two hundreds) + XXX(thirty) + IV (four), for MCCXXXIV. Thus eleven is XI (tenand one), 32 is XXXII (thirty and two) and 2009 is MMIX
(two thousand and nine). Note that the subtractiveprinciple is not extended beyond the chart: for example, ILis notused for 49, rather this should be written as forty(XL) and nine (IX), or XLIX.

Chinese-Japanese Multiplicative Grouping
There are characters representing the numbers zerothrough nine, and other characters representing larger numberssuch as tens, hundreds, thousands and so on. There are two sets
of characters for Chinese numerals: one for everyday writing andone for use in commercial or financial contexts known as dxi(simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ). The latterarose because the characters used for writing numerals aregeometrically simple, so simply using those numerals cannot
prevent forgeries in the same way spelling numbers out inEnglish would. A forger could easily change everyday characters(30) to(5000) by adding just a few strokes. That wouldnot be possible when writing using the financial characters(30) and(5000).

Whole numbers
Multiple-digit numbers are constructed using a
multiplicative principle; first the digit itself (from 1 to 9), thenthe place (such as 10 or 100); then the next digit.In Mandarin, the multiplier (ling) is often used rather
than (r) for all numbers greater than 200 with the "2"numeral (although as noted earlier this varies from dialect todialect and person to person). Use of both (ling) or (r)
are acceptable for the number 200. When writing in theCantonese dialect, (yi6) is used to represent the "2" numeralfor all numbers. In the southern Min dialect of Chaozhou(Teochew), (no6) is used to represent the "2" numeral in allnumbers from 200 onwards. Thus:
