The ancient Greek number system primarily used two methods: the Attic (or Herodianic) system and the Ionian (or alphabetic) system. The Attic system employed specific symbols for certain numbers, such as "Δ" for 500 and "Η" for 8, while the Ionian system assigned values to letters of the Greek alphabet, allowing for a more flexible representation of numbers. In this alphabetic system, for instance, "α" represented 1, "β" represented 2, and so on, with additional symbols for larger values. This combination of systems enabled the Greeks to perform arithmetic, although it was more complex than the decimal system used today.
