Work Step by Step

Hebrew numeration is a numeration system operates on the values of the letters added together to form the total. In Hebrew numeration system, we use many symbols to represent a number and it works on the basis of addition. In this system, there is no notation for zero and the numeric values for individual letters are added together. The Hebrew numeral chart represents the different numeral symbols of Hebrew Numeration system. Each unit \[\left( 1,2,3.....9 \right)\] is assigned a separate letter. Each tens is assigned a separate letter And few hundreds \[\left( 100,200,300,400 \right)\] assigned a separate letter. And later hundreds \[\left( 500,600,700,800,900 \right)\]are represented by the sum of those hundreds which have separate letters. And to represent 1000 to 999999 same letters are reused. Hebrew numeration is anadditive property based numeration system. Hence, different numbers have different letters to represent we can represent a number in Hebrew Numeration system.
