Another mystery which remains is, what base did the Inca use ?
All their neighbors used a base 60, but it appears the Inca used
base 10. Recent discoveries, as yet unsubstantiated, back this theory. For our purpose,
we will assume it was base 10.
The Mayan number system dates back to the fourth century and was
approximately 1,000 years more advanced than the Europeans of that
time. This system is unique to our current decimal system, which has
a base 10, in that the Mayan's used a vigesimal system, which had a
base 20. This system is believed to have been used because, since the
Mayan's lived in such a warm climate and there was rarely a need to
wear shoes, 20 was the total number of fingers and toes, thus making
the system workable. Therefore two important markers in this system
are 20, which relates to the fingers and toes, and five, which relates
to the number of digits on one hand or foot.
The Mayan system used a combination of two symbols. A dot (.) was
used to represent the units (one through four) and a dash (-) was used
to represent five. It is thought that the Mayan's may have used an
abacus because of the use of their symbols and, therefore, there may
be a connection between the Japanese and certain American tribes
(Ortenzi, 1964). The Mayan's wrote their numbers vertically as
opposed to horizontally with the lowest denomination on the bottom.
Their system was set up so that the first five place values were
based on the multiples of 20. They were 1 (200), 20 (201), 400 (202),
8,000 (203), and 160,000 (204). In the Arabic form we use the place
values of 1, 10, 100, 1,000, and 10,000. For example, the number 241,
083 would be figured out and written as follows:
