Explanation:

0( zero) is a number, and the numerical number is used to represent that number in numbers. It fulfils a central part in mathematics as the cumulative identity of the integers, real figures, and numerous other algebraic structures. As a number, 0 is used as a placeholder in place value systems. Names for the number 0 in English include zero, nought aught o, or — in surrounds where at least one conterminous number distinguishes it from the letter" O" — oh or o. Informal or shoptalk terms for zero include zilch and zip. Ought and nought as well as a cypher, have also been used historically.

Ancient Egyptian numbers were of base 10. They used hieroglyphs for the integers and weren't positional. By 1770 BC, the Egyptians had a symbol for zero in counting textbooks. The symbol nfr, meaning beautiful, was also used to indicate the base position in delineations of sepultures and conglomerations, and distances were measured relative to the baseline as being over or below this line.
