The numerals we refer to today as ‘Arabic Numerals’ are actually Hindu.
The Arab merchants saw the system in use in India and started using it themselves. They then transferred that system to the European marketplace around the Mediterranean and the Europeans saw the system and started using it as well, thinking the Arabs had invented it................
