Hindu numeral system

The Hindu numeral system, also known as the Indian numeral system, is a decimal-based system that uses ten distinct digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. It introduced the concept of zero as a number and place value, where the position of a digit determines its value (units, tens, hundreds, etc.). This system evolved in India and spread globally, forming the foundation of the modern numerical system used today. Its efficiency in representing large numbers and facilitating calculations has made it the standard for mathematical notation worldwide.
