74 is the Hindu-Arabic representation of the number seventy-four. The term Hindu-Arabic defines the system, not the symbols; the symbols are independent of the system. The Hindu and Arabic nations have their own symbols, as do many other regions around the world. However, the Latin symbols are internationally recognised as the standard form of numeric notation, regardless of the system.
There is a difference in the numeration system of Hindu Arabic compared to other societies numeration system. The Hindu Arabic system uses symbols to represent the numbers that are lower than ten, while other societies use numbers instead of symbols.
The biggest advantage of the Hindu-Arabic number system over any other ancient number systems is its inclusion of a 0 figure which made numeracy calculations easier and quicker.
Americans, and other peoples in the West, use Hindu-Arabic numeral system, plus a great many other developments in mathematics even for everyday arithmetic! Please see the link.
It was the use of 0, particlarly as a place holder.

The Hindu-Arabic positional system, as in every other country for at least 1500 years!
It is called Hindu-Arabic. It revolved from Arabia. It is much more efficient then other number systems like Egyptian etc.

The decimal system has this name because it was first used by Indian mathematicians and was then adopted by Persian and other Arabic mathematicians. It then later spread to the western world and became the world's primary system of numeration.

i have now ideaImproved Answer:-It contains a zero figure thus facilitating the ease and speed of calculating numbers.
The Hindu/Arabic number system is the one which is used in most of the countries of the world. The numbers used are; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0. Tens are represented by moving the numbers foreward on place and adding a zero, hundreds move foreward a further place and add a further zero and so on. The system is open ended and more zeros and further places can be added as required.
If the Roman had used the same numbers which are used in the Arabic number system then they would have been using the Arabic number system. The whole point is that they used a different system. The other half of the whole point is that the Roman empire fell before the Arabs and Hindus developed their number system. The Romans 'borrowed' their system from the Etruscans; they could not borrow what had not yet been invented.
It is superior from other systems because it has separate symbols for all numbers to 10 unlike Mayan or roman numerals who for 6 have to use 2 symbols (a line under a dot for Mayan and a V then an I for roman)
