Orginally the cave men used tallies to count, and then the Romans tried to improve that system so they made Roman numerals. Roman numerals were a good system for a while, but it would take the people forever just to decipher the numbers; let alone add them. Finally, the Arabs created the number system that we use today. It is based on tens........10,20,30,40,50,60,70, etc......
