If you add zero to a number, it remains the same. Zero is one of the unique numerals in mathematics. We all deal with zero several times. Do you ever wonder who invented zero? Have you ever researched the origin of zero? The discovery of zero was an important one. It completely altered the Arabic numeral system. Zero traveled across nations to get its existence. To know more about this number, let\u2019s learn about who invented zero and how?<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Aryabhata discovered zero?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The use of zero like a symbol was first recorded in the 3rd century B.C. During that century; the Babylonians used \u2018two small wedges\u2019 to distinguish the magnitudes. Till that time, zero was taken as a placeholder, not as a specific number with unique properties. Later in the 7th century A.D., zero gained its individualism as a number. The renowned mathematician in India named Aryabhata called zero as \u2018shunya.\u2019 He proved that a number subtracted by itself results in zero.<\/p>\n<p>Zero then traveled from India to China. The Chinese mathematician Mohammed Ibn-Musa al-Khowarizmi then showed that zero could be used in algebraic equations. By the 9th century, zero entered the Arabic numeral system and gained its existence in the oval shape.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Browse for any question related to mathematics and get instant answers from us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Are tough math questions bothering you?
