For example, thirty three would be written as one dot above three dots, which are in turn atop two lines. The first dot represents one twenty or 1 20 , which is added to three dots and two bars, or thirteen. Therefore, 1 20 13 33. Upon reaching 20 2 or 400, another row is started. The number 429 would be written as one dot above one dot above four dots and a bar, or 1 20 2 1 20 1 9 429.

The Babylonians , who were famous for their astronomical observations and calculations aided by their invention of the abacus , used a sexagesimal base 60 positional numeral system inherited from the Sumer ian and also Akkad ian civilizations. Neither of the predecessors was a positional system having a convention for which end of the numeral represented the units . This system first appeared around 3100 B.C. It is also credited as being the first known positional numeral system , in which the value of a particular digit depends both on the digit itself and its position within the number. This was an extremely important development, because non place value systems require unique symbols to represent each power of a base ten, one hundred, one thousand, and so forth , making calculations difficult.

Inuit counting has sub bases at 5, 10, and 15.
