Numbers are usually represented in [[English]] writing by a system of ''numerals'':
 +
 +
*0 (zero)
 +
*1 (one)
 +
*2 (two)
 +
*3 (three)
 +
*4 (four)
 +
*5 (five)
 +
*6 (six)
 +
*7 (seven)
 +
*8 (eight)
 +
*9 (nine)
 +
 +
Which can be used in combination to represent any number of any size. An older system of representation, still sometime encountered on clocks and other places, is [[Roman numeral]]s, which used certain letters of the [[alphabet]] instead.
