Before the invention of formal number systems, people used various methods to count, often relying on physical objects or tally marks. They might use their fingers, stones, or notches on sticks or bones to represent quantities. Additionally, many cultures employed simple counting systems based on grouping items, such as counting by twos or fives, which helped them keep track of larger amounts without needing formal numbers. These methods provided a practical way to manage everyday tasks and resources.
