The modern English numbering system, known as the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, originated in India around the 6th century. It was later transmitted to the Islamic world, where scholars adopted and modified it, adding concepts like the numeral zero. The system was introduced to Europe in the 10th century through translations of Arabic mathematical texts, gaining popularity due to its efficiency over the Roman numeral system. By the 15th century, it became widely used in Europe, forming the basis of contemporary numerical representation.
