Where 830 fits
Why 830 is special
It shaped a generation of requirements documents before being withdrawn, and its template is still recognisable in procurement paperwork today.

3 × 256 + 3 × 16 + e × 1 = 830
Read as powers of two: 512 + 256 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 = 830.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
8 coils of rope, 3 hobbles
8 × 100 + 3 × 10 = 830. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
1 corner wedge + 3 vertical wedges (sixties place), 5 corner wedges (units place)
13 × 60 + 50 = 830. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
omega, then lambda, marked as a numeral
omega-lambda + keraia
omega + lambda 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 tav, then lamed
tav-tav-lamed
tav (400) + tav (400) + lamed (30) = 830, 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.

Technology & computing
IEEE 830 gave recommended practice for software requirements specifications. It was superseded by ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148, though its structure persists in organisational templates.
