number zero (0). So it became hard for people to calculate in math and other
business, subjects. But sooner or later the Hindu-Arabic number system was

4. Contrast the roman numerals to the new number system.
The Roman numeral system works by having separate symbols to represent
different numbers but unlike our system there was no symbol for zero.
Normally we have 9 numbers and then add a zero on the end to denote 10s,
two zeros to denote 100s and so on. The Romans simply had added symbols
to denotes 10s, 100s etc. Example like:
1=I
2 = II (1 + 1)
3 = III (1+ 1 + 1)
4 = IV (1 before 5)
5=V
then the system repeats...
6 = VI (5 + 1)
7 = VII (5 + 1 + 1)
8 = VIII (5 + 1 + 1 + 1)
9 = IX (1 before 10)
10 = X
And so on…
