They are clumsy to use particularly since they do not use a zero as a place holder. Also, they are limited in their scope.

Roman numerals are not used as widely today because they are not as efficient or easily understandable as the Hindu-Arabic numeral system. Arabic numerals are a positional numeral system, meaning that the value of a digit is determined by its position in the number. This makes arithmetic and mathematical operations much simpler. Additionally, Arabic numerals are simpler and quicker to write, which contributes to their widespread use.
