The Babylonian number system is believed to have started around 1800 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia, which is present-day Iraq. It was developed by the Babylonians, who were skilled mathematicians and astronomers. The system used a base-60 numeral system and had a significant influence on subsequent mathematical systems.
They the Sexagesimal number system. It means that it has a numeral system with sixty as its base. We used the decimal system with ten as its base. The system was convenient back then but I would not change our decimal system for the sexagesimal.
The number system they used back them is the sexagesimal system. Our system has 10 digits from 0 to 9. So they used a system with 60 digits. That's why it is called a sexagesimal system. So make that a 60 for the Babylonian number.
