The decimal system, specifically the use of decimal place value and numerals, is believed to have originated in ancient India around the 3rd century BCE. The concept was introduced by mathematicians like Aryabhata and Brahmagupta in their influential works. This system of numerals eventually spread to other parts of the world and is now widely used globally.
The defining property of the decimal number system is that the place value of each digit is ten times the place value of the digit to its right.
It is not certain. There is evidence that the decimal system was used by the Elamites in ancient Iran around 5000 (+/- 500) years ago.
9 in the decimal system
The Base-10 number system is known as the decimal system and has 10 digits to show all numbers 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 using place value and a decimal point to separate whole numbers from decimal fractions.
India invented the use of the 0 as a place holder and so the decimal system.
