Read as powers of two: 512 + 128 + 32 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 679.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
6 coils of rope, 7 hobbles, 9 strokes
6 × 100 + 7 × 10 + 9 × 1 = 679. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
1 corner wedge + 1 vertical wedge (sixties place), 1 corner wedge + 9 vertical wedges (units place)
11 × 60 + 19 = 679. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
chi, then omicron, then theta, marked as a numeral
chi-omicron-theta + keraia
chi + omicron + theta written in descending order and added — the letters carry their values wherever they stand, so this is addition, not place value.
Hebrew numerals
tav, then resh, then ayin, then tet
tav-resh-ayin-tet
tav (400) + resh (200) + ayin (70) + tet (9) = 679, written in descending order.
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.
