Most people generally believe that the decimal counting method was discovered by Aristotle, but in fact, according to the earliest records in China, the decimal counting method was invented in China. Let us take a look at the development history of the decimal technology method.
The decimal system is a great invention in China, and this invention appeared very early. According to incomplete statistics, it should have appeared in the Shang Dynasty. At that time, the Chinese had learned to use the decimal counting method. , people first discovered this history in the oracle bones of the Shang Dynasty at that time. Through observation and research, people found that people at that time could already use the numbers one, two, three to ten and hundreds, thousands, and ten thousand to record large units. Numbers, although these counting methods are very different from what we have now, it has to be said that this counting method also has a profound impact on modern times. The technical methods at that time used the decimal system, and this method has been continued since then.
According to the opinions of many scientists, the decimal counting method is the most advanced counting method in ancient times. As for how our ancestors invented the decimal system, there is no clear record in the relevant ancient books, but many people speculate that because people at that time only had ten fingers, this is indistinguishable from the decimal system. There is an idiom in China called "On the fingers". From this idiom we can understand that people use their fingers when counting, so the use of the decimal system is inextricably linked to that time.
The main counting method of the decimal system is to add one to every ten and two to two. Use this method to push back. According to this rule, you can simplify some numbers. This counting method becomes mathematics. It is a very important counting method in the field. After the invention of this counting method, the multiplication formula appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period. The multiplication formula and the decimal counting method are two irreplaceable important crystallizations that we are still using today.
