What do chinese and africans use?

Africans are a diverse group so I expect that they have many different systems.
They use a system where a power-of-10 number is potentially preceded by a smaller count and followed by a smaller number. So, for example, 241 is represented as [2][100][4][10][1].
十 = 10 白 = 10^2 千 = 10^3 万 = 10^4 亿 = 10^8
This leads to the non-Western-like feature that the word for a million is 一白万 (1 10^2 10^4) whereas ten million is 一千万 (1 10^3 10^4) instead of 十白万 (10 10^2 10^4) which you might expect if you think using Western number systems and just internalize the rule that "白万 = million".
