Middle East, introduced the Indo-Arabic system to Europe. In Spain, this numeration system appeared in manuscripts as early as 976 AD. Towards the year 1500, the system was already in place and used clearly in mathematical texts.

One curiosity is the small difference between the Spanish numerical systems and the Anglo-Saxon one. In Spain a billón is one million millions, whereas in the Anglo-Saxon system, a billion is one thousand millions.

Spain: Un billón: 1.000.000.000.000 Anglo-Saxons: One billion: 1,000,000,000 Also opposite to the Anglo-Saxon system is the fact that in Spain the “.” symbol is used to separate thousands and “,” to indicate decimals. 3.537,52 € is equal to three thousand five hundred thirty-seven euros and fifty-two cents.
