Arabic numerals, despite the right-to-left direction of the Arabic script, are read from left to right, just like in English and other European languages. This applies to both reading and writing the numbers.
Here's a breakdown:
- Direction: Read from left to right.
- Digit Arrangement: The digits are arranged from left to right, representing increasing powers of ten.
Example:
The number "15" is written as "١٥" in Arabic numerals. You would read it as fifteen, starting from the digit on the left (١, which is 1) and moving to the digit on the right (٥, which is 5).
In summary: When encountering Arabic numerals, remember to read them in the same direction you would read any other number in a left-to-right language.
