While surfing I found an interesting article with the title Why one is 1 two is 2. The article was about the logic of numbers we use in our daily routine businesses, i.e., 1, 2,3….0. These numbers are known as "Arabic" numbers
Ever wondered why 1 mean one, 2 means two. It is the logic of angles that exists in Arabic Algorithm. The Arabs popularized these numbers but they were originally used by the early Ponecian traders to count and keep track of their trading accounts.
From the figures above we can easily understand that number 1 is having one angle, 2 is having 2 and so on… Coming finally to zero we find that 0 has no angle and therefore zero is 0!!! Interesting isn’t it?
