What is 73 in Hindu-Arabic numerals?

Answer 1

Hindu-Arabic refers to the system, not the numerals (the system and the numerals are independent). There are four major symbol groups (glyphs) used by Arabs and Indians: Arabic-Indic; Eastern Arabic-Indic (Persian and Urdu), Devanagari (Hindi) and Tamil. We use Latin script glyphs established in 16th century typesetting (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9).

The following shows the symbols (0-9) for each, and the value 73 using those symbols:

Arabic-Indic (reads right-to-left):

٩٨٧٦٥٤٣٢١٠

73 = ٣٧

Eastern Arabic-Indic (reads left-to-right):

۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹

73 = ۷۳

Devanagari:

०१२३४५६७८९

73 = ७३

Tamil:

௦௧௨௩௪௫௬௭௮௯

73 = ௩௭
