can be traced back to the Brahmic script of ancient India, as represented by Ashoka as a simple vertical line Language
in his Edicts of Ashoka in c. 250 BCE.[12] This script's numeral shapes were transmitted to Europe via the
Maghreb and Al-Andalus during the Middle Ages, through scholarly works written in Arabic. In some
countries, the serif at the top may be extended into a long upstroke as long as the vertical line. This
variation can lead to confusion with the glyph used for seven in other countries and so to provide a visual
distinction between the two the digit 7 may be written with a horizontal stroke through the vertical line.
In modern typefaces, the shape of the character for the digit 1 is typically typeset as a lining figure with an ascender, such that the digit is the
same height and width as a capital letter. However, in typefaces with text figures (also known as Old style numerals or non-lining figures), the
glyph usually is of x-height and designed to follow the rhythm of the lowercase, as, for example, in .[13] In old-style typefaces (e.g.,
Hoefler Text), the typeface for numeral 1 resembles a small caps version of I, featuring parallel serifs at the top and bottom, while the capital I
retains a full-height form. This is a relic from the Roman numerals system where I represents 1.[14][15] The modern digit '1' did not become
widespread until the mid-1950s. As such, many older typewriters do not have dedicated key for the numeral
1 might be absent, requiring the use of the lowercase letter l or uppercase I as substitutes.[15] The lower case
"j" can be considered a swash variant of a lower-case Roman numeral "i", often employed for the final i of a
"lower-case" Roman numeral. It is also possible to find historic examples of the use of j or J as a substitute
for the Arabic numeral 1.[16][17][18][19]
In mathematics
Mathematically, the number 1 has unique properties and significance. In normal arithmetic (algebra), the
number 1 is the first natural number after 0 (zero) and can be used to make up all other integers (e.g.,
; ; etc.). The product of 0 numbers (the empty product) is 1 and the factorial 0!
evaluates to 1, as a special case of the empty product.[20] Any number multiplied or divided by 1 remains The 24-hour tower clock in Venice,
unchanged ( ). This makes it a mathematical unit, and for this reason, 1 is often called using J as a symbol for 1
unity. Consequently, if is a multiplicative function, then must be equal to 1. This distinctive
feature leads to 1 being is its own factorial ( ), its own square ( ) and square root ( ), its
own cube ( ) and cube root ( ), and so forth. By definition, 1 is the magnitude, absolute value,
or norm of a unit complex number, unit vector, and a unit matrix (more usually called an identity matrix). It
is the multiplicative identity of the integers, real numbers, and complex numbers. 1 is the only natural
number that is neither composite (a number with more than two distinct positive divisors) nor prime (a
number with exactly two distinct positive divisors) with respect to division.[21] This Woodstock typewriter from the
1940s lacks a separate key for the
In algebraic structures such as multiplicative groups and monoids the identity element is often denoted 1, numeral 1.
but e (from the German Einheit, "unity") is also traditional. However, 1 is especially common for the
multiplicative identity of a ring, i.e., when an addition and 0 are also present. Moreover, if a ring has
characteristic n not equal to 0, the element represented by 1 has the property that n1 = 1n = 0 (where this 0
denotes the additive identity of the ring). Important examples that involve this concept are finite fields.[22]
A matrix of ones or all-ones matrix is defined as a matrix composed entirely of 1s.[23]
Formalizations of the natural numbers have their own representations of 1. For example, in the original Hoefler Text, a typeface designed in
formulation of the Peano axioms, 1 serves as the starting point in the sequence of natural numbers.[24] 1991, uses text figures and
Peano later revised his axioms to state 0 as the "first" natural number such that 1 is the successor of 0.[25] In represents the numeral 1 as similar
to a small-caps I.
the Von Neumann cardinal assignment of natural numbers, numbers are defined as the set containing all
preceding numbers, with 1 represented as the singleton {0}.[26] In lambda calculus and computability
theory, natural numbers are represented by Church encoding as functions, where the Church numeral for 1 is represented by the function
applied to an argument once (1 ).[27] 1 is both the first and second number in the Fibonacci sequence (0 being the zeroth) and is the
first number in many other mathematical sequences. As a pan-polygonal number, 1 is present in every polygonal number sequence as the first
figurate number of every kind (e.g., triangular number, pentagonal number, centered hexagonal number).
The simplest way to represent the natural numbers is by the unary numeral system, as used in tallying.[28] This is often referred to as "base 1",
since only one mark – the tally itself – is needed. Unlike base 2 or base 10, this is not a positional notation. Since the base 1 exponential
function (1x) always equals 1, its inverse (i.e., the logarithm base 1) does not exist.
The number 1 can be represented in decimal form by two recurring notations: 1.000..., where the digit 0 repeats infinitely after the decimal
point, and 0.999..., which contains an infinite repetition of the digit 9 after the decimal point. The latter arises from the definition of decimal
numbers as the limits of their summed components, such that "0.999..." and "1" represent exactly the same number.[29]
Primality
Although 1 appears to meet the naïve definition of a prime number, being evenly divisible only by 1 and itself (also 1), by convention 1 is neither
a prime number nor a composite number. This is because 1 is the only positive integer divisible by exactly one positive integer, whereas prime
numbers are divisible by exactly two positive integers and composite numbers by more than two positive integers. As late as the beginnings of
the 20th century, some mathematicians considered 1 a prime number.[30] However, the prevailing and enduring mathematical consensus has
been to exclude due to its impact upon the fundamental theorem of arithmetic and other theorems related to prime numbers. For example, the
fundamental theorem of arithmetic guarantees unique factorization over the integers only up to units, i.e., 4 = 22 represents a unique
factorization. However, if units are included, 4 can also be expressed as (−1)6 × 123 × 22, among infinitely many similar "factorizations".[31]
Furthermore, Euler's totient function and the sum of divisors function are different for prime numbers than they are for 1.[32][33]
The definition of a field requires that 1 must not be equal to 0. Thus, there are no fields of characteristic 1. Nevertheless, abstract algebra can
consider the field with one element, which is not a singleton and is not a set at all.
In numerical data, 1 is the most common leading digit in many sets of data (occurring about 30% of the time), a consequence of Benford's law.

In technology
In digital technology, data is represented by binary code, i.e., a base-2 numeral system with numbers represented by a sequence of 1s and 0s.
Digitised data is represented in physical devices, such as computers, as pulses of electricity through switching devices such as transistors or
logic gates where "1" represents the value for "on". As such, the numerical value of true is equal to 1 in many programming languages.[45][46]
In science
▪ Dimensionless quantities are also known as quantities of dimension one.
▪ Hydrogen, the first element of the periodic table, has an atomic number of 1.
▪ Group 1 of the periodic table consists of the alkali metals.
▪ Period 1 of the periodic table consists of just two elements, hydrogen and helium.
In philosophy
In the philosophy of Plotinus (and that of other neoplatonists), The One is the ultimate reality and source of all existence.[47] Philo of
Alexandria (20 BC – AD 50) regarded the number one as God's number, and the basis for all numbers ("De Allegoriis Legum", ii.12 [i.66]).
The Neopythagorean philosopher Nicomachus of Gerasa affirmed that one is not a number, but the source of number. He also believed the
number two is the embodiment of the origin of otherness. His number theory was recovered by Boethius in his Latin translation of
Nicomachus's treatise Introduction to Arithmetic.[48]
