In the Babylonian number system, which is base-60, numbers are represented using a combination of symbols for units (1-59) and larger values based on their position. To add numbers, you align them based on their place values, similar to decimal addition. If the sum exceeds 59, you convert it into the next higher place value by dividing by 60 and carrying over the remainder. For example, adding 58 and 5 would yield 63, which is expressed as 1 in the next place value (60) and 3 in the current place.
