I don't think I have posted the question very well - it's the numbers 1 to 10 above the line and the numbers 1112211112 below it. Unfortunately, I don't have any clues or other examples. Help, it's really annoying me now!!
It means "twelve thousand three hundred and forty-five million, six hundred and seventy-eight thousand nine hundred and ten divided by one thousand onehundred and twelve million, two hundred and eleven thousand one hundred and twelve" which is 11.100121889449347.
The bottom sequence is normally the number of time the pen is placed on the paper to form each of the corresponding numbers above.

Limpy, Great answer - it's the most likely one I've seen!! The only "iffy" bit is the #5 (one stroke or two?) Maybe to make the answer more(?) correct I should change the 5th bottom line figure to a 1!!
I write my fives with two strokes of the pen.
Question Author
Limpy, I use one stroke - but I go along with your answer!!
is this not the same number but in binary and not decimal.

Klinedancer, I don't know - I didn't "do" binary at school. Can you enlighten me? Mike
