Where 4540 fits
Why 4540 is special
The figure does not come from any rock on Earth — the oldest surviving crust is younger — but from meteorites that formed at the same time and were never remelted.

4 × 1,000 + 5 × 100 + 4 × 10 = 4,540. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
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.

Science
Earth's age of roughly 4.54 billion years is derived principally from lead isotope dating of meteorites, since terrestrial rocks of that age have been destroyed by geological recycling.
