The Mayan number system is vigesimal (based on twenties)The Roman number system is decimal (based on tens)
Both the Mayan and Roman number systems are non-positional, meaning the value of a symbol does not depend on its position within the number. Both systems use additive and subtractive principles to represent numbers. Both systems lack a symbol for zero, which can make calculations more challenging compared to the modern decimal system.
Nothing really it just diffrent shapes.
The Mayan system is more like Roman numerals than our Hindu-Arabic numbers. It has no sign for 6, for example, but must combine the sign for 5 and the sign for 1. Normal addition and subtraction and especially multiplication and division, as we understand these operations, were difficult if not impossible.
There are many reasons why the Mayan and the Hindu Arabic number systems are different some of these are why.The Mayan number System has a place value and a non place value system and the Hindu Arabic number system has a place value system.Their based numbers are different, the Mayans is 20 and the Hindu Arabic is 10.The Mayan number system only has three symbols, and the Hindu Arabic number system has up to ten symbols including the zero.Hindu Arabic number system reads or makes it from left to right on the Mayan number system you make or read it from top to bottom.The Mayans also didn't have the concept of fractionThe similarities are that both number systems have a symbol for zero and that both number systems could do addition and subtraction even if it was difficult in the Mayan system
Both make use of a zero symbol but Mayan numbers have 20 as a base whereas Hindu-Arabic numbers have 10 as a base.

The Mayan people?
Scientists have proven that there is not a Half Numeral for Mayan Numbers. there is only quarters and Fifths.
The Mayans used a combination of dots and lines to represent their numbers. The number thirteen is represented by three dots on top of two horizontal lines.
