How 268 is understood across different contexts — never implying one meaning because of another.
- Mathematics
Eswatini changed its name from Swaziland in 2018, partly to end confusion with Switzerland.
- Geography
+268 reaches Eswatini, renamed from Swaziland in 2018. One stated reason was that Swaziland was routinely confused with Switzerland in international correspondence.
- Sport
Batting records in limited-overs cricket have moved repeatedly as fielding restrictions and bat design changed. Comparing scores across eras compares regulations as much as players.

1 × 256 + 0 × 128 + 0 × 64 + 0 × 32 + 0 × 16 + 1 × 8 + 1 × 4 + 0 × 2 + 0 × 1 = 268

4 × 64 + 1 × 8 + 4 × 1 = 268
Hexadecimal
1 0 c
1 × 256 + 0 × 16 + c × 1 = 268
Read as powers of two: 256 + 8 + 4 = 268.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
2 coils of rope, 6 hobbles, 8 strokes
2 × 100 + 6 × 10 + 8 × 1 = 268. 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 + 8 vertical wedges (units place)
4 × 60 + 28 = 268. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
sigma, then xi, then eta, marked as a numeral
sigma-xi-eta + keraia
sigma + xi + eta 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 het
resh-samekh-het
resh (200) + samekh (60) + het (8) = 268, written in descending order.
Maya
2 bars + 3 dots (upper, twenties place) over 1 bar + 3 dots (lower, units place)
13 × 20 + 8 = 268. 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.
