∙ 6y ago- The abacus is portable, unlike its predecessors the sand board and the counting board (these worked the same way as the abacus except the beads sat in slots on a stationary horizontal surface instead of being strung on wires).
- The abacus allows relatively rapid addition and subtraction of much larger numbers than is easy to do mentally.
- An illiterate merchant (or other person) can rapidly learn how to operate an abacus for common daily calculations.
- The abacus is easy to make, no special skills or knowledge are needed.
- etc.
