Read as powers of two: 128 + 32 + 16 = 176.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
1 coil of rope, 7 hobbles, 6 strokes
1 × 100 + 7 × 10 + 6 × 1 = 176. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
2 vertical wedges (sixties place), 5 corner wedges + 6 vertical wedges (units place)
2 × 60 + 56 = 176. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
rho, then omicron, then stigma, marked as a numeral
rho-omicron-stigma + keraia
rho + omicron + 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 ayin, then vav
qof-ayin-vav
qof (100) + ayin (70) + vav (6) = 176, written in descending order.
Maya
1 bar + 3 dots (upper, twenties place) over 3 bars + 1 dot (lower, units place)
8 × 20 + 16 = 176. 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.
