\begin{definition}[Definition:Egyptian Numerals]
The Ancient Egyptian system of counting consisted of grouping a number of symbols of powers of $10$.
The '''Egyptian numerals''' are:
{{begin-eqn}}
{{eqn | o = \)File:Egyptian 1.png\(
      | r = \)'''single stroke'''\(
      | l = 1:
}}
{{eqn | o = \)File:Egyptian 10.png\(
      | r = \)'''heel bone'''\(
      | l = 10:
}}
{{eqn | o = \)File:Egyptian 100.png\(
      | r = \)'''coil of rope'''\(
      | l = 100:
}}
{{eqn | o = \)File:Egyptian 1000.png\(
      | r = \)'''water lily''' or '''lotus'''\(
      | l = 1000:
}}
{{eqn | o = \)File:Egyptian 10000.png\(
      | r = \)'''bent finger'''\(
      | l = 10 \, 000:
}}
{{eqn | o = \)File:Egyptian 100000.png\(
      | r = \)'''tadpole''' or '''frog'''\(
      | l = 100 \, 000:
}}
{{eqn | o = \)File:Egyptian 1000000.png\(
      | r = \)'''man with both arms raised, perhaps in astonishment'''\(
      | l = 1 \, 000 \, 000:
}}
{{end-eqn}}
To express other numbers than these, symbols are repeated.
For example, $276$ in Egyptian hieroglyphics could be written as:
