Did you know?

The Egyptians were one of the first civilizations to use numerals to represent numbers, dating back to around 3000 B.C.

What?

The Egyptians used a distinct hieroglyphic numeral system with a base of 10, like ours, that counted all the way to a million but did not include zero. These numbers are now referred to as natural or counting numbers. They are positive integers like our 1, 2, and 3 that are used primarily for counting or ordering things.
