In historical numeral systems

Egyptian

1 lotus, 8 hobbles, 7 strokes

1 × 1,000 + 8 × 10 + 7 × 1 = 1,087. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

Babylonian

1 corner wedge + 8 vertical wedges (sixties place), 7 vertical wedges (units place)

18 × 60 + 7 = 1087. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
