Question

write 2,749 in Babylonian numeration by indicating the number of each symbol in the table for each place value. fill the unused symbols with zero

Answer 1

In Babylonian numeration, the symbols used are as follows:

1 symbol: | (representing a single item)
10 symbol: ) (representing 10 items)
60 symbol: ? (representing 60 items)
600 symbol: ! (representing 600 items)

To represent the number 2,749 in Babylonian numeration, we can break it down into each place value:

Thousands:
Since 2,749 is less than 3,600, we don't have any thousands. Therefore, the symbol for the thousands place value would be 0.

Hundreds:
2,749 divided by 600 is 4 with a remainder of 549. This means we have 4 hundreds. So, the symbol for the hundreds place value would be 4.

Tens:
549 divided by 60 is 9 with a remainder of 9. This means we have 9 tens. So, the symbol for the tens place value would be 9.

Ones:
The remaining 9 is the number of ones. So, the symbol for the ones place value would be 9.

Putting it all together, the number 2,749 in Babylonian numeration with the number of each symbol in the table for each place value and filled with zeroes for unused symbols is represented as:
0!04)09
