What is the difference between Babylonian number system and Egyptian number system?
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
What is the difference between Hindu- Arabic and roman number system?
Hindu Arabic is the number we use like 1,2,3,4........ Roman numbers are the numbers Romans were using like I,II,III,IV,V.........Improved Answer:The main difference between Hindu-Arabic numerals and Roman numerals is the absence of a nought figure in the Roman numeral system.
Why didn't the Romans use the number zero?
The number zero is needed in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system because as for example it tells us that there is a difference between 207 and 27 but in the Roman numeral system a zero number is not needed because we automatically know that there is a difference between CCVII and XXVII. In fact the Romans had a symbol for zero which was N and its Latin word is 'nihil'
What is the difference between Mayan number system and Hindu Arabic number system?

Normal addition and subtraction and especially multiplication and division, as we understand these operations, were difficult if not impossible.
