it was karen velasquez she was the first to do this if it wernt for her we wudnt have decimals tht would help us in our future :)
The first people to use the decimal system and the number zero WERE NOT THE CHINESE! I am learning about this in school. The ancient Hindu's invented them during the Gupta Empire.

You write it as 0.004 because to the left of the decimal point is ones, to the first zero to the right of the decimal point is tenths, to the second zero to the right of the decimal point is hundredths, and so on.
The tenths place in a decimal fraction is the first digit after the decimal point - in this case, a zero.
a repeating decimal
The first mathematician is Arya bhatt.

decimal system and zero are the contribution of the Indians to the humanity.
arya bhatta
The first real zero came from an Indian mathematician named Aryabhatta .
Bhāskara was a 7th century Indian mathematician, who was apparently the first to write numbers in the Hindu-Arabic decimal system with a circle for the zero, and who gave a unique and remarkable rational approximation of the sine function in his commentary on Aryabhata's work.

The zero enables the use of place values which are fundamental to the decimal system. It allows you to differentiate between 109 and 19: the 1 in the first number represents the number of hundreds whereas in the second number the same digit represents the number of tens.
It was the 7th century Indian mathematician Brahmagupta who first treated zero as a number in its own right and not merely as a placeholder.
Decimal System Origins This is an issue that has many answers, with many cultures given credit by different people. Ancient China is a possible origin of the decimal system, and there is some indication that they had the concept of zero represented by the end if the thirteenth century BCE. There is some controversy about the idea that the decimal system was invented in India. This should be no surprise because people like to argue over things like this.The decimal system may have originated in the Gupta Empire.Arguably, any peoples that used to count on their fingers used the decimal system.Note:Do not confuse the decimal system with the Arabic numeral system!Both Ancient Romans and Arabs had decimal systems; but Roman numerals were hopeless for mathematics and accounting; whereas Arabic numerals are used universally today.
Zero and decimal point are both missing
