Answer 2

Joe F and Bizime are correct... we use the Hindu-Arabic numberal system when writing the digits 0 - 9 and use the place-value system of 136 meaning 1 hundred, 3 tens, and 6 ones. We say "Arabic" instead of "Hindu-Arabic" because it's shorter and easier to say.

The number system originally came from India, and trade brought it to Arabia, where a few of the digits were changed to make them easier to write. They were popularized about 1200 years ago in a book by Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khowarizmi, who also invented algebra. Most of Europe was in the Dark Ages then, and relatively no mathematics was studied at all. By the time of the Renaissance when Europeans tried to learn new maths, the old number systems they used were incredibly out of date, and anyone wanting to deal with new studies in mathematics had to learn the Arabic number system.

We usually use Arabic numerals for everyday math: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 etc.
