Preliminary Report on Systems of Notation for Large Numbers in the Cyrillic Script

Dionisy I. Pronin

Abstract: The notation of numbers in the Cyrillic script, alongside other alphabetic numeral systems, is commonly referenced in popular and specialized literature. However, the representation of high-order numbers (powers of $10^4$ and above) receives considerably less attention. This report highlights accumulated data on several notation systems dealing with such large numbers.
