What is the difference between Mayan number system and Hindu Arabic number system?

0

The Mayan system is more like Roman numerals than our Hindu-Arabic numbers. It has no sign for 6, for example, but must combine the sign for 5 and the sign for 1. Normal addition and subtraction and especially multiplication and division, as we understand these operations, were difficult if not impossible.
