Both the babylonian number system and ours rely on position to give value.
Babylonian system math. The two systems do it differently partly because their system lacked a zero. The most commonly accepted theory holds that two earlier peoples merged and formed the sumerians usa today reported. For more details of the babylonian numerals and also a discussion as to the theories why they used base 60 see our article on babylonian numerals. Therefore a number like 61 1 60 1 1 would look very similar to 3601 1 3600 1 1 because in the latter number the 60 s place was left blank.
Babylonian figures for the numbers from one to ten as they appear on the ancient clay tablets this system wasn t perfect. The babylonians were able to make great advances in mathematics for two reasons. For example there was no zero to use as a placeholder. The babylonians had an advanced number system in some ways more advanced than our present systems.
From this we derive the modern day usage of 60 seconds in a minute 60 minutes in an hour and 360 degrees in a circle. The babylonian system uses base 60 meaning that instead of being decimal it s sexagesimal. The babylonian system of mathematics was a sexagesimal base 60 numeral system. Learning the babylonian left to right high to low positional system for one s first taste of basic arithmetic is probably no more difficult than learning our 2 directional one where we have to remember the order of.
All we can say is that the context must have helped them to establish such difference yet the babylonian numeration system was without a doubt a very ambiguous numeral system if this had become a major problem no doubt the babylonians were smart enough to come up with a working system.
