  1. According to our college professor the decimal number system was based in Hindu-Arabic number system where basic digits of counting use 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 that were adapted by Arabs from Indians, but the Arabs also added the 0 to the number system. I don't know how accurate such information, we may investigate. Zero may have just been a concept used by the Indians in philosophy during ancient times, but perhaps the Arabs may have been the ones that used it early as numeral.
