Sumerians used a base-60 (sexagesimal) numeral system, which was notably different from the base-10 system used today. They wrote numbers using a combination of two symbols: a vertical wedge for the number one and a circular symbol for the number ten. These symbols were inscribed on clay tablets using a stylus, allowing them to represent values and perform calculations effectively. Their system facilitated complex accounting and record-keeping in ancient Mesopotamia.
