History of Numbers and Numerals
(Georges Ifrah: The Universal History of Numbers, John Wiley
& Sons, 1998)
- Humans have used many different representations of numbers throughout
history
- The first number represented was 1
- Representations such as |, ||, |||,... are most frequent
- For bigger numbers, using groups of 10 is most frequent
(20 (French 80: quatre-vingt=4-20) and 60 (minutes, seconds) also exist
The Shape of Numerals
- Chinese numerals: 一、二、三、亖
- Roman numerals: I, II, III, IIII (or IV)
- (Arabic-)Indic numerals: ١, ٢, ٣ (used in
Arabic)
- (European-)Arabic numerals: 1, 2, 3
- Chinese numerals: 十、廿、...
- Roman numerals: X, XX,...
Creating the Natural Numbers Starting with 1
Peano Axioms (Guiseppe Peano, 1858-1932)
- 1 is a natural number (1∈ℕ)
- If a is a natural number, then s(a) is a
natural number (s(a) is the successor of
a)
(a∈ℕ ⇒ s(a)∈ℕ)
- There is no natural number x so that
s(x) = 1
- If two natural numbers are different, then their successors are
different
(a∈ℕ, b∈ℕ, a ≠ b ⇒
s(a) ≠ s(b))
- If we can prove a property for 1,
and we can prove, for any natural number a, that if a
has this property then s(a) also has this
property,
then all natural numbers have this property.
(Nowadays, it is usual to start with 0 rather than with 1.)

... |
... |
Axioms of addition:
- a + 1 = s(a)
- If a and b are natural numbers, a +
s(b) = s(a + b)
(a∈ℕ, b∈ℕ ⇒ a + s(b)
= s(a + b))
Calculate 2 + 3 using Peano arithmetic:
Associative Law
(associative property)
A binary operation (represented by operator △) is associative if all
operands a, b, and c:
(a△b) △ c = a △ (b△c)
Examples:
- Addition of natural numbers is associative.
- Multiplication of natural numbers is associative.
- Multiplication of matrices is associative
Proof of Associativity of Addition using Peano Axioms
What we want to prove:
Associative law for addition: (d + e) + f =
d + (e + f)
Let's prove this for all values of f.
- Let's distinguish two cases: f=1 and
f=k+1
- If f = 1, then (d + e) + 1 = s(d + e) [by
the 1st axiom of addition, with (d+e) for
a]
= d + s(e) [by the 2nd axiom of addition, with
d for a and e for b]
= d + (e + 1) [by the 1st axiom of addition,
backwards, with e for a]
- Assuming that associativity holds for f = k (i.e.
(d + e) + k = d + (e
+ k)), let's prove associativity for f =
k+1, i.e let's prove
(d + e) + k = d + (e
+ k) ⇒ (d + e) +
(k+1) = d + (e + (k+1)):
(d + e) + (k+1) = (d +
e) + s(k) [by the 1st axiom of addition, with
k for a]
= s((d + e) + k) [by the 2nd axiom of
addition, with (d+e) for a and k for
b]
= s(d + (e + k)) [using the assumption]
= d + s(e + k) [by the 2nd
axiom of addition, backwards, with d for a and
(e+k) for b]
= d + ((e + k) + 1) [by the 1st axiom of
addition, with (e+k) for a]
= d + (e + (k + 1)) [using the case
f=1, with e for d and k for
e]
Q.E.D. [using the 5th Peano axiom, with f for a and
the property (d + e) + f = d +
(e + f)]
Comments on Proof
- Because we have not yet established associativity, we always have to use
parentheses.
- Once we have proved associativity, we can eliminate the parentheses.
- This proof uses mathematical induction.
- Peano Axiom 5 can be seen as the basis for mathematical
induction.
- We will look at mathematical induction more closely later.
The Discovery of 0
- The latest (natural/integer) number discovered by humans
- Discovered around 800 A.D. in India
- Discovery spread westwards to Arabia and Europe, eastwards to China and
Japan
- 0 is very important for positional notations such as decimal,
binary,...
More Arithmetic Operations
Exponentiation (e.g. 23):
Two raised to the power of three is eight.
Two to the power of three is eight.
Two to the three (third) is eight.
The third power of two is eight.
Five to the power of four is six hundred
twenty-five.
Three raised to the power of four is eight-one.
Modulo operation (remainder):
Twenty modulo six is two.
Twenty-five modulo seven is four.
Positional Notation: Decimal Notation
Number representations before positional notation:
Chinese (Han) numerals: 二百五十六、二千十五
Roman numerals: CCLVI, MMXV
Example of decimal notation: 256 = 2×102 + 5×101 +
6×100
Example containing 0: 206 = 2×102 + 0×101 +
6×100
Generalization:
dn...d1d0
= dn×10n+...+d1×101+d0×100
Example with decimal point: 34.56 = 3×101 + 4×100 +
5×10-1 + 6×10-2
Binary Numeral System
(the base of a number is often given as a subscript)
10100112 = 1×26 + 0×25 + 1×24
+ 0×23 + 0×22 + 1×21 + 1×20
=
1×64 + 0×32 + 1×16 + 0×8 + 0×4 + 1×2 + 1×1 =
64 + 16 + 2 + 1 =
83
Base Conversion: Base b to Base 10
Calculate the sum of each of the digits multiplied by its positional
weight.
The positional weight is a power of b, the zeroth power for the
rightmost digit.
The power increases by one when moving one position to the left.
dn...d1d0
(in base b) =
dn×bn+...+d1×b1+d0×b0
Base Conversion: Base 10 to Base b
Take the number to convert as the first quotient.
Repeatedly take the quotient of the previous division, and divide it by the
base b,
adding the remainder as a digit to the result from right to left.

11 divided by 2 is 5 remainder 1
5 divided by 2 is 2 remainder 1
2 divided by 2 is 1 remainder 0
1 divided by 2 is 0 remainder 1
23 = 11×21 + 1×20
= 5×22 + 1×21 + 1×20
= 2×23 + 1×22 + 1×21 + 1×20
= 1×24 + 0×23 + 1×22 + 1×21 +
1×20 = 10111
Using Horner's rule: 23 = (((1×2 + 0)×2 +
1×)2 + 1)×2 + 1
Base Conversion: Base b to Base c
- General method: Convert via base 10
Example: base 3 → base 10 → base 5
- Shortcut 1: If b is a power of c (or the other way
round), then convert the digits in groups
Example 1: base 3 → base 9 (9 is 32, therefore make groups of
two digits and convert to a single digit)
Example 2: base 8 → base 2 (8 is 23, therefore convert each
digit to a group of three digits)
- Shortcut 2: If both b and c are powers of
d, then convert via base d
Example: base 4 → base 8
because 4 = 22 and 8 = 23, d = 2
therefore, convert base 4 → base 2 → base 8 (use shortcut 1 two
times)
Base Conversion Shortcut Example
Convert 47623 (base 8) to base 4.
8 = 23, 4 = 22, therefore convert base 8 → base 2
→ base 4
476238 →
