How are Arabic numbers written?

One of the starting challenges in acing Arabic is getting utilized to the language`s right-to-left (RTL) introduction.

Arabic numbers are written using a sequence of digits from 0 to 9.

In the Arabic numbers system, the position of each digit determines its value.

For example, 123 is written in Arabic as “1 2 3.” The digit “1” represents one hundred (10 to the power of 2), the digit “2” represents twenty (10 to the power of 1), and the digit “3” represents three (10 to the power of 0). So the value of the number is calculated as 1 x 100 + 2 x 10 + 3 x 1, which equals 123.

Arabic numbers are also written from left to right, like in English, and a comma or a dot separates them depending on the country or region. For example, in the United States, the number 1,234.56 is written as “1,234.56” using a comma as a separator, while in some other countries, a dot is used instead.
