Maya numbers are quite useful for writing the years of the Gregorian calendar (i.e. the calendar that we use every day). Thus, for example, we can write 2006 as: 2006 = (because 2006 = 5x20x20 + 0x20 + 6x1) We can continue writing numbers in this manner up to 7999: 7999 = (because 7999 = 19x20x20 + 19x20 + 19x1) 30
NUMBERS GREATER THAN 7999 When we get up to 8000, we have to use the fourth position in the Maya numbers. The fourth position holds the number of 8000s that are in the number we want to write, the third position holds the number of 400s, the second position the number of 20s, and the first position the number of 1s. (Note that you get these numbers by multiplying 20s. That is, first position = 1s, second position = 1x20 = 20s, third position = 1x20x20 = 400s, forth position = 1x20x20x20 = 8000s. This is the same as 20 0 = 1, 20 1 = 20, 20 2 = 400, and 20 3 = 8000. You can continue the same way for the fifth, sixth, and all higher positions.) Thus, 8000 = 31
