1B Place value in Hindu-Arabic numbers seusion ‘The commonly used number system today, called the decimal system or base 10, is also called the Hindu-Arabie number system. Like the Babylonian system, the value of the digit depends on its place in the number, but only one digit is used in each position. A digit for zero is also used. The decimal system originated in ancient India about 3000 sce and spread throughout Europe through trade and Arabic texts, ‘over the next 4000 years. cy a a Let's start: Largest and smallest Without using decimal points, repeated digits or a zero (0) at the start of a number, see if you can use all the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 to write down + the largest possible number * the smallest possible number. Can you explain why your numbers are, in fact, the largest or smallest possible? The Hindu-Arabic or decimal system uses base 10. This means powers of 10 (1, 10 or 10', 100 or 102, 1000 or 10”, ..) are used to determine the place value of a digit in a number. Ml The symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are called digits. PA i Cy = > CF m3 The value of each digit depends on its place in the number. The place value of the digit 2 in the number 126, for example, is 20.
