CCLXIV uses the subtractive pair IV: one before five — five minus one.

Binary

1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0

1 × 256 + 0 × 128 + 0 × 64 + 0 × 32 + 0 × 16 + 1 × 8 + 0 × 4 + 0 × 2 + 0 × 1 = 264

Octal

4 1 0

4 × 64 + 1 × 8 + 0 × 1 = 264

Hexadecimal

1 0 8

1 × 256 + 0 × 16 + 8 × 1 = 264

Read as powers of two: 256 + 8 = 264.

In historical numeral systems

Egyptian

2 coils of rope, 6 hobbles, 4 strokes

2 × 100 + 6 × 10 + 4 × 1 = 264. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

Babylonian

4 vertical wedges (sixties place), 2 corner wedges + 4 vertical wedges (units place)

4 × 60 + 24 = 264. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.

Greek (Ionic)

sigma, then xi, then delta, marked as a numeral

sigma-xi-delta + keraia

sigma + xi + delta written in descending order and added — the letters carry their values wherever they stand, so this is addition, not place value.

Hebrew numerals

resh, then samekh, then dalet

resh-samekh-dalet

resh (200) + samekh (60) + dalet (4) = 264, written in descending order.

Maya

2 bars + 3 dots (upper, twenties place) over 4 dots (lower, units place)

13 × 20 + 4 = 264. 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.
