Hindu-Arabic numerals
India
Numbers as we know today are the numbers of the decimal system (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9). They were created by mathematicians in ancient India s invented the decimal system around in the 9th century CE. This numerical system was later adopted by Persian and Arabic mathematicians and spread to the western world by the High Middle Ages.
The modern number system were first invented by a Muslim mathematician which later converted into current established digits and numbers. Also "Algebra" was invented by a Muslim mathematician Jaaber.
Hindu Arabic numeral system was invented by Indian mathematicians.

It was invented in prehistoric times and has evolved as our understanding and needs developed.From natural (counting) numbers to the set of integers, to rational numbers (fractions) to real numbers (incorporate irrational numbers), to complex numbers and then quaternions. The last of these, which even many mathematicians will not have come across in their work, were formally introduced to the world of mathematics by Hamilton in 1843.
Muslim mathematicians are responsible for introducing our number system. That is why we call them Arabic numerals. They developed the concept of zero as a value, the decimal system, arithmetic operations, exponentiation and square root determination. and various concepts such as proof by mathematical induction A lot of work was also done in algebra and geometry, trigonometry and more.
Because they come from the Hindu-Arabic numeral system developed by Indian mathematicians.
Melvil Dewey created the Dewey Decimal system. It is a classification system used by libraries, and not what is meant in the question. The decimal number system is the number system that we all use on a daily basis; it was invented by a succession of Arab and Hindu mathematicians beginning about 1400 years ago.
A committee composed of well-known French mathematicians devised the metric system with the meter as the basis. The centimeter is merely derived from the meter.
The decimal system!
Indian mathematicians of the Gupta period made important contributions. Aryabhata (AHR • yuh • BUHT • uh) was one of the first scientists known to have used algebra. Indian mathematicians explained the idea of infinity-something without an end. They also invented the symbol "0" and connected it with the idea of nothing. The Indians' invention of zero affected the study of mathematics and science. Modern technology, such as computers, would not be possible without the concept of zero. Gupta mathematicians developed symbols for the numbers 1 to 9 that we use today. In the a.d. 700s, Arab traders adopted these number symbols, or numerals. European traders later borrowed them from the Arabs. In the a.d.1200s, use of these numbers spread though Europe and replaced Roman numerals. Today, this system of number symbols is known as the Indian-Arabic numerical system.
