What is the decimal system
Welcome to unProfesor.com, in this math class we are going to teach you what is the decimal system, a positional and additive system.
In mathematics, the decimal system is a method of positioning numbers. It was developed by Indian mathematicians. Later the Arabs introduced it in Europe, where it received the name of the Arabic numeral system.
The symbols are: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 the first natural numbers, with which we can construct any number.
We will apply it to the metric decimal system, very similar to the numbering system, with the following measurements:
- Length
- Mass
- Ability
- Area
- Volume
Zero has no value by itself, but only place value, that is, because of the place it occupies.
