What is devanagari numbers?

Devanagari numbers are the numeric system used in the Devanagari script, which is primarily used for writing Hindi, Sanskrit, Nepali, and Marathi. The Devanagari number system uses ten basic numerals from 0 to 9, and additional numbers are formed by combining these numerals.

The Devanagari numerals are written from left to right, and the system is based on the decimal system. The basic numerals consist of horizontal strokes, vertical strokes, dots, and loops, and each numeral has a unique shape.

In addition to the basic numerals, the Devanagari number system also includes special symbols for larger numbers, fractions, and decimals. These symbols are used in combination with the basic numerals to create complex numbers.

The Devanagari number system is an integral part of Indian culture and traditions and is widely used in education, commerce, and everyday life. It is also important for understanding ancient Indian texts, including religious texts like the Vedas and the Upanishads.
