Where 2460 fits
Why 2460 is special
It simplified the packet header by moving options into extension headers, and was itself replaced by RFC 8200 in 2017.

MMCDLX uses the subtractive pair CD: a hundred before five hundred — five hundred minus a hundred.

Read as powers of two: 2,048 + 256 + 128 + 16 + 8 + 4 = 2,460.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
2 lotuses, 4 coils of rope, 6 hobbles
2 × 1,000 + 4 × 100 + 6 × 10 = 2,460. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
4 corner wedges + 1 vertical wedge (sixties place), empty units place
41 × 60 + 0 = 2460. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first. The second place is empty, and this is precisely the case the early system could not write unambiguously — the same wedges alone would also read as 1.
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.

Common questions
Is 2460 a prime number?
No, 2460 is not prime.
What are the factors of 2460?
The factors of 2460 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 41, 60, 82, 123, 164, 205, 246, 410, 492, 615, 820, 1230, 2460.
What is 2460 in Roman numerals?
2460 in Roman numerals is MMCDLX. CD is subtractive: a hundred before five hundred — five hundred minus a hundred. Written additively it would be MMCCCCLX, which Roman inscriptions used freely — the strict subtractive form is a later convention.
