Although one advantage is simplicity, there are two disadvantages.

Area of shapes

First, large number will require an aweful lots of strokes.

Area of a regular polygon
Common geometry
formulas
What is a circle?

Second, it will be somewhat difficult to real such large number

For example, can you tell what number is represented by the tally marks below?

Geometry calculator
Volume of solids
Surface area of solids
Pythagorean theorem
Straightedge and compass
construction
Congruent Shapes

I know what you are doing right now. You are using your finger to count the
strokes

However, would you be able to do that without confusing yourself or losing your
place if there were 50 strokes?

If you did not lose your place, you must have counted 20 strokes

However, the introduction of grouping made it a lot easier to read numbers

In this case, we place a fifth tally mark across every four to make a group of 5

Did you notice that you were able to find the number a lot faster?
Basically, that is all there is to this numeration system.Today, this numeration
system is used a lot in stastistics.
