What is Babylonians' sexagesimal system?

The Babylonian Sexagesimal System is the Babylonian Number System. We use the Hindu-Arabic System with a base 10, while the Ancient Babylonians invented their own number system with a base 60. That's the reason why it's also called the Sexagesimal Number System, it's based on number 60. They used to be printed into baked clay by a stylus.
