The difference between Hieroglyphs and Babylonian number is how they look like, and how they work.

Hieroglyphs have symbols base on 10's, so stroke for one, heel bone for 10, scroll for 100, and so on....

Babylonian numbers use only 2 symbols, which is for one, and > for 10.For Babylonian number, they also restart(?) them selves after 60, and the number position(?) is different when ever it reaches 60^X.Babylonian number lasted also longer then hieroglyphs.

There! if you have any more question , you could search Google, or wikepedia i guess(?).

i hope this helped :D
