Aryabhata, an Indian mathematician and astronomer, is credited with the invention of the decimal system in the 5th century.

The Aryabhatiya, written by Aryabhata in the 5th century, is the earliest known text that mentions the decimal system.

The base of the decimal system is 10, which means that it uses 10 digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) to represent numbers.

The decimal system uses 10 symbols (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) to represent numbers.

The place value of the digit in the ones place in a decimal number is 1.

The place value of the digit in the tens place in a decimal number is 10.

The place value of the digit in the hundreds place in a decimal number is 100.

The place value of the digit in the thousands place in a decimal number is 1000.

The decimal system is used in everyday life to count objects, measure quantities, and perform calculations.

The decimal system is easy to learn and use, flexible, standardized, and used all over the world.

The decimal system can be difficult to represent certain fractions and is not as efficient as some other number systems for certain types of calculations.

The binary, hexadecimal, and octal systems are some of the other number systems that have been used throughout history.

The ease of use and efficiency of the decimal system compared to other number systems depends on the specific number system being compared.

It is difficult to predict the future prospects of the decimal system, as it depends on a number of factors, including technological developments and the adoption of new number systems.

The decimal system was invented in the 5th century by Aryabhata, an Indian mathematician and astronomer.
