👉 Sudanese mathematics, also known as Sudanese numerals or Sudanese decimal system, is a variant of the Hindu-Arabic numeral system used in Sudan and parts of East Africa. It employs a unique base-10 (decimal) system with additional symbols for fractions and decimals, making it distinct from standard Arabic numerals. The system uses the digits 0-9, along with fractions like 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4, represented by symbols such as ½, ⅓, and ¼. Notably, it lacks a symbol for the decimal point, instead using a vertical bar (|) to denote division or fractions. This system is particularly useful for everyday calculations and trade, though it has largely been replaced by more modern numeral systems in formal education and international contexts.
