Explanation

The concept of zero as a number (shunya) was developed in ancient India, with Brahmagupta (7th century) formalizing its mathematical operations. The Babylonians had a placeholder symbol, but India developed zero as a complete number with arithmetic properties. Egypt, Greece, and Japan did not invent this fundamental mathematical concept.
