Where 3164 fits
Why 3164 is special
Like the CSV specification, it documents existing practice rather than defining it, and its timestamp famously omits the year.

Roman numerals

MMMCLXIV uses the subtractive pair IV: one before five — five minus one.
Binary
1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0
1 × 2,048 + 1 × 1,024 + 0 × 512 + 0 × 256 + 0 × 128 + 1 × 64 + 0 × 32 + 1 × 16 + 1 × 8 + 1 × 4 + 0 × 2 + 0 × 1 = 3,164
Octal

6 × 512 + 1 × 64 + 3 × 8 + 4 × 1 = 3,164
Hexadecimal

c × 256 + 5 × 16 + c × 1 = 3,164
Read as powers of two: 2,048 + 1,024 + 64 + 16 + 8 + 4 = 3,164.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
3 lotuses, 1 coil of rope, 6 hobbles, 4 strokes
3 × 1,000 + 1 × 100 + 6 × 10 + 4 × 1 = 3,164. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
5 corner wedges + 2 vertical wedges (sixties place), 4 corner wedges + 4 vertical wedges (units place)
52 × 60 + 44 = 3164. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
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.

The factors of 3164 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 113, 226, 452, 791, 1582, 3164.
What is 3164 in Roman numerals?
