What is place value?

Place Value is a key feature of our (Arabic) numeral system. Each digit has a basic value and its total value in a number is determined by its place value.For example:45678The bolded number 7 is in the tens place, and stands for 70.The italicized 8 is in the ones place and has its basic value.The crossed-out 6 is in the hundreds place and so means 600.Each place value is 10 times the value of the of the column to its right.


Why there is no number 0 in roman numbers?

The number system that we use today is the Hindu-Arabic numeral system and a 0 number is essential for positional place value purposes as for example it shows us that there is a difference between 27 and 207 but a 0 number is not needed in the Roman numeral system because the positional place value of its numerals are self evident as for example XXVII is 27 and CCVII is 207
