Best Answer

No person invented zero. However mathematicians in many cultures realized that in large numbers there had to be a placeholder for 'Empty" spaces (as an example the number 304 is really three values of a hundred + no vales of ten + four values of one). The Roman system of writing that as CCCIV got around the question by simply showing each number as a sum of other numbers (this made multiplication difficult)Various culture represented the "zero" values with 0, a blank space, or a dot (.). Today we have settled on the zero (0) as the representation of an empty value.
