Why One is 1 and Two is 2?

The Numbers

The numbers we write are made up of algorithms, (1, 2, 3, 4, etc) called Arabic algorithms, to distinguish them from the Roman algorithms (I, II, III, IV, etc.).

The Arabs popularize these algorithms, but their origin goes back to the phenecian merchants that used them to count and do their commercial countability.

Have you ever asked the question why 1 is "one", 2 is "two", 3 is "three", ... ?

What is the logic that exist in the Arabic algorithms?

Easy, very easy..!
There are angles!

Look at these algorithms written in their primitive form and check it up!




And the most interesting and intelligent of all . . .



Moral of the story:

It is never late to learn!
