In Philosophy, 1 comes first.

The zero and one were created the same time, creating the number ten.
Just think about it. For the zero to be created it created """one""" full rotation of something. It required 1 to become a zero so there is a 1 too. As they are two separates they are and now we have ten because they are equivalent. They are equivalent because they were created exactly the same time.So what come first, the 0, the 1 or the 10
They are all the same thing, working as three individuals to create another 9 digits-0 is not a digit, it means nothing by itself so had to have the one to become "something"

Technically, 0 doesn't exist so 1 comes first. But in math, going from lowest to highest, 0 comes first. Sort of a chicken and the egg syndrome.

They came at the same time! As soon as 1 existed, 0 had to exist (1-1=0) and as soon as 0 existed, 1 also had to exist (for example because otherwise 0 would be meaningless if it didn't have anything to be compared to... plus that if 0 was the only number that existed, there would only be 1 number that existed, right? So it's a paradox.)
That's why they had to come at the same time.

O I suppose... but I think people knew 1 before they knew about 0.

Actually 1 was invented long before 0. Zero was are relatively modern invention.

both simultatneously presence, it's fundamental to differentiation. If there is only 1 you trap yourself in continuity of mass like Parmenides. Only 0 is the same fate. But zero is more paradoxical, because in pointing at it.. you're making it real, or more than "nothing".

Philosophically speaking we came from nothing and we will return to nothing. I am what I think, I am what I feel. When I no longer think or feel, I am nothing.
Zero is the only number represented by a circle. It has no beginning and no end. Therefore Zero (nothing) came first and everything else was added to it.
