Who invented the ancient greek number system?

Greek numerals are a system of representing numbers using the letters of the Greek alphabet. The first Greek number system we examine is their acrophonic system which was use in the first millennium BC. 'Acrophonic' means that the symbols for the numerals come from the first letter of the number name, so the symbol has come from an abreviation of the word which is used for the number. Here are the symbols for the numbers 5, 10, 100, 1000, 10000. No one has claimed to be the author.

What is the difference between ancient Egyptian fractions and modern fractions?

Ancient Egyptian fractions are a system that only used unit fractions, which are fractions with a numerator of one, such as 1/2, 1/3, and so on. They represented all other fractions as sums of these unit fractions, often resulting in unique and sometimes lengthy expressions. In contrast, modern fractions can have any integer as the numerator and denominator, allowing for more straightforward representations and calculations. This difference reflects a significant evolution in mathematical notation and understanding over time.

Can we use Greek fractions today?

Yes, Greek fractions, which are fractions expressed as sums of distinct unit fractions (like 1/2, 1/3, etc.), can still be used today in certain mathematical contexts, particularly in number theory and ancient mathematical studies. They provide insights into the development of fractions and can offer alternative methods for representing rational numbers. However, in most practical applications, modern decimal and common fractions are more commonly employed for their simplicity and ease of use.
