How are multi-digit numbers written in Arabic?
For example, if someone wanted to write 123, would they write "321" from the right or in some other way?

I know that many Germans write 2-digit numbers, e.g. 46, starting with the last digit, that is with 6 in my example, just the way they are pronounced in German, 'sechsundvierzig', that is '6 and 40'.– Yellow SkyFeb 6, 2015 at 13:44

Are you asking how the numbers look in the writing, or in which order they are drawn on paper?– J-msterFeb 16, 2015 at 13:22

Also, the order you type it might not match the order you handwrite it. At least in the built-in keyboard in translate.google.com, if you type in the equivalent of "AL 123" the rightmost character will be alif and the leftmost character will be the one.– JetpackNov 20, 2019 at 21:50

No, he will write the digits from left to right (the opposite of the direction of writing words) as: 123 or ۱۲۳.

1@Medi1Saif. I think you mean: first hundreds (1), then units (3), then tens (2). مائة وثلاثة وعشرون– fdbNov 17, 2016 at 10:01
