The earliest text to use a decimal place-value system, including a zero, is the Lokavibhāga, a Jain text surviving in a medieval Sanskrit translation of the Prakrit original, which is internally dated to AD 458 (Saka era 380). In this text, śūnya (void, empty) is also used to refer to zero.

Zero (0) was invented by Aryabhata. The origin of the modern decimal-based place value notation can be traced to the Aryabhatiya ( the only known surviving work of Aryabhata written in 5th century ).

Coming down from the French cipher and zero, it finally became the word zero. The invention of zero as a number and not just for place position is generally attributed to the ancient Indians. By the 9 th century AD, mathematics calculations that included both division and multiplication used the number zero.

Firstly, Zero wasn't discovered according to me. It should have been invented. Coming to the question, it was invented(used first) by Brahmagupta, not Aryabhata. Zero could have been invented for easier calculations and abstract mathematics. There...

Who invented number zero? February 10, 2011 by 2016 Revision Leave a Comment The word zero is attributed to many ancient cultures and is most likely a corrupt version of the Arabic spelling safira which meant it was empty. Coming down from the French cipher and zero, it finally became the word zero. The invention of zero as a number and not just for place position is generally attributed to the ancient Indians. By the 9th century AD, mathematics calculations that included both division and multiplication used the number zero. Pingala, who was an Indian scholar, also used zero for binary numbers, which was quite similar to Morse code.

Originally Answered: Who discovered zero? Really Mharshi PINGAL is given a credit to invent zero because he invented binary system. But this is also not an established fact and may be zero is much older to them.

Zero was invented independently by the Babylonians, Mayans and Indians (although some researchers say the Indian number system was influenced by the Babylonians). The Babylonians got their number system from the Sumerians, the first people in the world to develop a counting system.

It is pretty interesting. It says that Aryabhatta used zero for the first time to define decimal system, and Brahmaputra defined the rules of zero. Both of these does not mean either of them invented it. It just means they were the first ones to use it.

Some of his major contributions to mathematics were in trigonometry, the approximation of pi and the place value system: this is where the value of zero (0) was used implicitly (although he did not use any explicit symbol for it).
