What are the Hindu-Arabic numeral system and roman system?

Answer 1

Arabic numbers are the ones that most people use in everyday life: 0123456789.

Roman Numerals are the ones with latin letters, like III (3) or XIV (14).

In the modern day, you're unlikely to use Roman Numerals except for stylistic reasons. They're not as easy to read or write, harder to do math with, and it's more likely that people won't be able to read them, so there's no real reason to use them.

Answer 2

The Hindu-Arabic number system is based on ten number characters, including one symbol for zero. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Here appeared the number and symbol zero for the first time. [The Greeks were strong on ratios and logic, but the idea of a name for nothing - for something that had no existence - was beyond them. ]

The roman number system used symbols such as I, II, V, X, L, M and D - in no particular order. 6 = VI, 11 = XI, 19 = IXX . This made calculation quite complex.

[The mayan number system had discovered zero quite independently, but their number system was based on a set of 20 symbols, built up from a few different marks.]

Answer 3

The number system that we use all the time is Hindu-Arabic numerals. These are the set of 10 symbols – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0. Also, it is inspired by Roman numerals. You can notice the similarity when you compare both systems side by side.

Answer 4

The Hindu-Arabic numeral system is what we use today: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 9

The Roman numeral system is what we used in the past: I V X L C D and M
