History of Abacus
Before the Hindu-Arabic number system was invented in India in the 6th or 7th century and introduced to Europe in the 12th century, people counted with their fingers, and even their toes in tropical cultures. Then, as even larger quantities (greater than ten fingers and toes could represent) were counted, people picked up small, easy-to-carry items such as pebbles, sea shells and twigs to add up sums.
However, merchants who traded goods needed a more comprehensive way to keep count of the many goods they bought and sold. The abacus is one of many counting devices invented in ancient times to help count large numbers, but it is believed that the abacus was first used by the Babylonians as early as 2,400 B.C.1 The abacus was in use in Europe, China, and Russia, centuries before the adoption of the written Hindu-Arabic numeral system. When the Hindu-Arabic number system was widely accepted, abaci were adapted to use place-value counting, a system in which the position of a digit in a number determines its value. In the standard system, base ten, each place represents ten times the value of the place to its right. Since the first abacus, the physical structure of abaci has changed, but the concept has survived almost five millennia, and is still in use today.
