Why don't we use the egyptian number system?
In egyptian number system, diffferent little pictures were used to write a number. In ancient egypt, egyptian number system was used on the wall of egyptian pyramids. There were many limitations or disadvantages of egyptian number system, that made difficult to use-
1. Egyptian number system required too much space to draw pictures to show a number.
2. Egyptian number system required too much time to write a number.
3. All mathematical operation $( +,\ -,\ ×,\ ÷ )$ are very difficult.
Therefore, we don't use egyptian number system.
