Yes, the Babylonians used a place value system, which was based on the number 60 (sexagesimal). This allowed them to represent large numbers efficiently and perform calculations. Their system included a placeholder for zero, though it was not always consistently used. This innovation significantly influenced later numerical systems, including those used today.
