  1. Section 4.1Additive, Multiplicative, and Ciphered Systems of Numeration

  2. What You Will Learn • Additive, multiplicative, and ciphered systems of numeration

  3. Systems of Numeration • A numberis a quantity. It answers the question “How many?” • A numeral is a symbol such as , 10 or used to represent the number (amount).

  4. Systems of Numeration • A system of numeration consists of a set of numerals and a scheme or rule for combining the numerals to represent numbers.

  5. Types Of Numeration Systems • Four types of systems used by different cultures will be discussed. They are: • Additive (or repetitive) • Multiplicative • Ciphered • Place-value

  6. Additive Systems • An additive system is one in which the number represented by a set of numerals is simply the sum of the values of the numerals. • It is one of the oldest and most primitive types of systems. • Examples: Egyptian hieroglyphics and Roman numerals.

  7. Egyptian Hieroglyphics

  8. Example 1: From Egyptian to Hindu-Arabic Numerals • Write the following numeral as a Hindu-Arabic numeral. Solution 10,000 + 10,000 + 10,000 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 30,134

  9. Example 2: From Hindu-Arabic to Egyptian Numerals • Write 43,628 as an Egyptian numeral. Solution 43,628 = 40,000 + 3000 + 600 + 20 + 8

  10. Roman Numerals

  11. Roman Numerals • Two advantages over Egyptian system: • Uses the subtraction principle as well as addition principle • DC = 500 + 100 = 600 • CD = 500 – 100 = 400 • Uses the multiplication principle for numerals greater than 1000

  12. Example 4: From Roman to Hindu-Arabic Numerals • Write CMLXIV as a Hindu-Arabic numeral. • Solution • It’s an additive system so, = CM + L + X + IV = (1000 – 100) + 50 + 10 + (5 – 1) = 900 + 50 + 10 + 4 = 964

  13. Example 5: Writing a Roman Numeral • Write 439 as a Roman numeral. • Solution • 439 = 400 + 30 + 9 • = (500 – 100) + 10 + 10 + 10 + (10 – 1) • = CDXXXIX

  14. Multiplicative Systems • Multiplicative systems are more similar to the Hindu-Arabic system which we use today. • Chinese numerals

  15. Chinese Numerals • Written vertically • Top numeral from 1 - 9 inclusive • Multiply it by the power of 10 below it. 20 = 400 =

  16. Example 7: A Traditional Chinese Numeral • Write 538 as a Chinese numeral. Solution:

  17. Ciphered Systems • In this system, there are numerals for numbers up to and including the base and for multiples of the base. • The number (amount) represented by a specific set of numerals is the sum of the values of the numerals.

  18. Ciphered Systems • Ciphered numeration systems require the memorization of many different symbols but have the advantage that numbers can be written in a compact form.

  19. Examples of Ciphered Systems • We discuss in detail the Ionic Greek system • developed about 3000 B.C. • used letters of Greek alphabet as numerals • Base is 10 • An iota, ι, placed to the left and above a numeral represents the numeral multiplied by 1000

  20. Examples of Ciphered Systems • Hebrew • Coptic • Hindu • Brahmin • Syrian • Egyptian Hieratic • early Arabic

  21. Ionic Greek System * Ancient Greek letters not used in the classic or modern Greek language.

  22. Ionic Greek System * Ancient Greek letters not used in the classic or modern Greek language.

  23. Example 9 Write as a Hindu-Arabic numeral. Solution The sum is 839.

  24. Example 10 Write 1654 as an Ionic Greek numeral. Solution 1654 = 1000 + 600 + 50 + 4 = (1 × 1000) + 600 + 50 + 4
