Best Answer

It is a number system in which each value has a different symbol. An ordinary key board has around 100 symbols - upper and lower case letters, numbers and the symbols. That would allow you to count to around 100 in whole number only - no fractions or irrationals.

Since there are infinitely many rational numbers between 0 and 1, and an even greater number of Irrational Numbers, you would not have made any headway towards setting up a usable system.

What is positional and nonpositional number system?

The number system now in commonest use worldwide is positional. Consider a number such as 924.37. The position of each digit in the number indicates how significant it is. The digit 9 represents 100s, the 2 10s, the 4 1s, and so on.The Roman number, or 'numeral' system, is non-positional. The value of a character in a number does not depend on its position only. Rather, the value of a character depends on what the character is and on neighbouring characters. Consider a number such as XLIV. In this case the 'X' means ten but only as a modifier for the 'L' which stands for fifty, so that the combination 'XL' means 40.
