The Mayan number system is base-20, or vigesimal, likely because it reflects the counting of both fingers and toes, as humans have 20 digits in total. This system allowed the Maya to represent large numbers efficiently and is evident in their use of different symbols for various place values. Additionally, the base-20 system aligns with their cultural and astronomical calculations, showcasing their advanced understanding of mathematics.
