The ancient Egyptian numeration system represented numbers with hieroglyphic symbols. 1 is represented by I; 10 is represented by n; 100 is represented by, 1000 is represented by 10000 is represented by 1, 100000 is represented by, and 1000000 is represented by. To write numbers other than those represented by those individual symbols, you simply write a string of symbols. The value of a string of symbols is determined by adding up the values represented by the individual symbols. For example, onoll represents the number 100+ 100+100+ 100+ 100+ 10+ 10+ 10+1+1=532 in the Hindu-Arabic system. i. Use this system to write the value equivalent to 20146. ii. Write the value equivalent to the sum of IIIII I and 99 911 11 I in the Hindu-Arabic system. iii. Is the ancient Egyptian numeration system an example of a place value system? Briefly explain why or why not. 5.
