Their are two types of number systems. 1. Non positional number systems 2. Positional number systems.
Roman numerals is one such.
In non-positional number system, each symbol represents the same value regardless of its position.In positional number system ,each symbol represents different value depending on the position they occupy in a number.In non positional number system,its very difficult to perform arithmetic with such a number system.In positional number systems were developed.
A well-known example is the Roman numbers.
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.
