The Chinese numbering system is a decimal system that uses different powers of ten and started being used in 1500 BC. To form composite numbers, they would multiply pairs of numbers and add them together. The Chinese used abacuses to perform multiplication and division, decorating them with paintings, and were adept at operations with fractions such as finding lowest common denominators, representing fractions with male and female roles and decimalizing fractions as their use of a decimal system for weights and measures spread.

SIMPLE NUMBERS The classical writing form in China started to be used in 1500 B.C. It is a decimal system and it used the different potencies of ten. It is a hybrid system.
COMPOSITE NUMBERS To form composed numbers they multiply in pairs and both are added. This is a very easy example to understand it:
MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION The Chinese used the abaco for multiplication and division numbers and they decorated this with painting about women, flowers, dragons and more things.
THE CHINESE AND THE FRACTIONS The Chinese were well aware of common operations with fractions, to the point of finding the lowest common denominator of several fractions. As was his custom paired a male and a female role to the elements of the fraction. More important than these curiosities was, however, the trend towards the decimalization of the fractions in China. The adoption of a decimal system in weights and measures resulted in the imposition of the habit in handling decimal fractions
