How was the babylonian number system used

Babylonian numerals were written in cuneiform, using a wedge-tippedreed stylus to make a mark on a soft clay tablet which would beexposed in the sun to harden to create a permanent record.Sexagesimal (base 60) is a numeral system with sixty as its base.The number 60, a highly composite number, has twelve factors,namely {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60}, of which 2, 3,and 5 are prime numbers.
