Why One is 1,Two is 2 ,Three is 3?

Thought of sharing this info i got by email about number system.

The numbers we write are made up of algorithms, (1, 2, 3, 4, etc) called Arabic algorithms to distinguish them from the roman algorithms (I; II; III; IV; etc.),

The Arabs popularize these algorithms. But their origin goes back to the Phoenician merchants that used them to count and do their commercial countability.

Have you ever asked the question why 1 is “one”, 2 is “two”, 3 is “three”…..?

What is the logic that exist in the Arabic algorithms?

There are angles!Look at these algorithms written in their primitive form and check it up!

numbers

And the most interesting and intelligent of all…..
