Numerical digit

Symbols used to write numbers

A numerical digit (often shortened to just digit) is a single symbol used to represent numbers in positional notation, such as 0, 1, ..., 9 in the common base 10. The name "digit" originates from the Latin digiti, meaning fingers. Digits may be used alone (such as "1") or in combinations (such as in "15") to form a numeral.
