Question

State the following statement is True or False
The digits 1,2,3,4... which we call as English digits are developed form of Indian numerals.

Answer 1

Hint: Indian number system uses the base 10 system to write the number.
It includes ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, lakh, ten lakh, crores, ten crores.

Complete step-by-step answer:
The Hindu–Arabic numeral system, which originated in India and is now used throughout the world, is a positional base 10 system.

The Indian number system has base 10 because place values increase by powers of ten.
Since the number system of digits 1,2,3,4... was developed in India
Therefore the given statement :
“The digits 1,2,3,4... which we call as English digits are developed form of Indian numerals.” Is True.

Additional Information: Commas are placed in large numbers to write them easily.
 In Indian and International number systems, the commas are placed at different positions.
As per the Indian numeral system, the first comma is placed after the hundreds place and then they are placed after every two digits.
Eg- 1,23,45,678
For the numbers after crore we generally use 10 crore (8 zeroes), 100 crore or arab (9 zeroes), 10,000 crore or kharab (11 zeroes), 10,00,000 crore or neel and so on.

Note: The Indian system of numbers follows the 3:2:2 system of placing commas, so 10 digit number would be written as 100,00,00,000 where the face value of each digits is:-

1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Hundred crores	Ten crores	Crore	Ten lakhs	lakh	Ten thousands	thousands	hundred	tens	ones
