The use of negative numbers dates back to ancient civilizations, with the earliest documented use attributed to the Chinese during the Han Dynasty (around 200 BCE to 200 CE). They used negative numbers in calculations and to represent debts. The concept was later adopted and further developed by Indian mathematicians, such as Brahmagupta in the 7th century, who provided rules for arithmetic involving negative numbers.
