Formula:
The Greek numeral system (specifically the Miletian/Ionic system) is an alphabetic numeral system where numerical values are assigned to 27 Greek letters and archaic symbols. Numbers are formed using the additive principle, meaning the value of a number is the sum of its constituent symbols. For example, ρια represents 100 + 10 + 1 = 111. For numbers 1,000 and above, a keraia mark (ʹ) often precedes the letter or sequence of letters, indicating multiplication by 1,000 (e.g., ʹα = 1,000, ʹιβ = 12,000).
