Where 116 fits
Why 116 is special
Its discovery was a Russian-American collaboration at a time when the same laboratories had spent decades disputing each other's claims. Joint credit for 114 and 116 marked the end of that rivalry.

Binary
1 1 1 0 1 0 0
1 × 64 + 1 × 32 + 1 × 16 + 0 × 8 + 1 × 4 + 0 × 2 + 0 × 1 = 116
Octal
1 6 4
1 × 64 + 6 × 8 + 4 × 1 = 116
Hexadecimal
7 4
7 × 16 + 4 × 1 = 116
Read as powers of two: 64 + 32 + 16 + 4 = 116.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
1 coil of rope, 1 hobble, 6 strokes
1 × 100 + 1 × 10 + 6 × 1 = 116. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
1 vertical wedge (sixties place), 5 corner wedges + 6 vertical wedges (units place)
1 × 60 + 56 = 116. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
rho, then iota, then stigma, marked as a numeral
rho-iota-stigma + keraia
rho + iota + stigma written in descending order and added — the letters carry their values wherever they stand, so this is addition, not place value.
Hebrew numerals
qof, then tet, then zayin
qof-tet-zayin
The ordinary rule would give יו (yod 10 + vav 6), also a divine-name form, so 16 is written טז — tet (9) + zayin (7).
Maya
1 bar (upper, twenties place) over 3 bars + 1 dot (lower, units place)
5 × 20 + 16 = 116. Places stack vertically with the smallest at the bottom, so the upper group is worth twenty times the lower.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

Strength 0.50, confidence "high".
Science
Livermorium was made by a joint Russian-American team, decades after the same institutions had contested each other's superheavy element claims. The shared naming of 114 and 116 in 2012 formally closed that dispute.
