Best Answer

In the Hindu-Arabic numeral system it is essential for positional place value purposes as it tells us as for example that there is a difference between 27 and 207 but in the Roman numeral system it is not needed because the positional place value of its numerals are self evident.

Many countries have slight variations on the system, whether with regards the actual symbols themselves or by use of differing conventions regarding the placement of commas and decimal points, or simply in reading numbers right-to-left rather than left-to-right.
