Why One is 1 and Two is 2 ....very interesting.

Have you ever wonder why 1 is being called 1 and 2 as 2... so on ?

Here is some interesting info explaining about it :-

It is said that the numbers 1,2,3,4 are actually made up of algorithm called Arabic algorithms.This is to distinguish them from roman algorithms (I, II, III, IV )
This Arabic algorithm is popularized by Arabs but actually its origin is by merchants who used them to count and do their commercial activities.

So logic behind 1 is 1 and 2 is 2 .. is its angles...

Like ::->
1 has only one angle.
2 has two angles.
3 has tree angles.

.
.
.
.

and so on.

And 0 (ZERO) is because it has zero angles.

    I dont get it. What do you mean by 2 has got two angles, 3 has three angles etc..?

    Even if we say that 2 is like Z, so it has 2 complimentary angles and similarly for 3, wat about 4, 5 etc??

    @SS: If you write then as you write Z you get the number of angles as their number!

    Exactly, if you write in digital form.. you will get all angles. Here it is not possible to explain it correctly.

    What about 6 and 9? They have the same number of angles.

    ...and I can easily prove that this holds true for 10.

    I have a funny answer 6+4=10.
    So 6 angles+4 angles=10 angles.
