You probably think zero is just a regular number. But it was not like all other numbers.
First of all, it was invented much later. The numbers from 1 to 9 were invented thousands of years ago. People used stones to count numbers in the past. But the number zero was only created in the year 200 A.D. The idea of zero was difficult to understand. Before zero, people used a space when they wrote one thousand six, like nothing between “ 1 _ _ 6”. Thanks to zero, we can write one thousand six as “ 1,006” and can write large numbers clearly.
