lol ok for all who don’t know , The numbers used in English today (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) are called Arabic numerals, more precisely Western Arabic numerals. However, their history involves both India and the Arab world.
India: The decimal number system, including zero, originated in India.
Arab world: Arab mathematicians adopted, developed, and spread this system, helping introduce it to Europe.
Europe: Europeans learned the system largely through Arabic mathematical writings, which is why the digits became known as Arabic numerals.
