    Zero is a number. It is an abstract, as are all numbers. The number 1 can represent one sheep for instance, the number 3, three stones. The number zero represents the absence of any sheep or stones...or the presence of nothing. This is abstract thinking; or how am I going to tell this guy how many whatevers I'm thinking about without actually putting them in his lap.
    Mr. Bramagupta was a mathimatician in India in about 650AD(CE). He finally got zero off the bench and put it into the game, He worked out the system of adding and subtracting that we use today. He put the symbol we recognise today as zero or '0' to work in that process as a place holder. If it was used to represent any value other than the absence of a value would redener an inaccurate result. However, his rule for dividing by zero bombed. By the way, multiplication is just addition in shorthand.
    Ancient man had his fingers(any more than ten wooly mamouths go by and he went back to the cave confused).
    From the middle ages to about the 17th century notches were carved on sticks (western man was still lacking).
    In the early 19th century Martin Ohm (the electricity guy)ran around telling everybody that Bramagupta's division by zero didn't work, it made the answer wrong. Ohm was right.
    Sorry, didn't mean to ramble.

    It is a number, the number nought.
    The number one hundred and eighteen, for example, is written as 118.
    It can also be written as 000118, the previous digits of noughts have no meaning but can still be written as such if one wants to.
    So your '000' is merely the number nought with two irrelevant digits before it.

    I think 0 is a very interesting number. In any number system, whether it be binary, octal, hexadecimal or whatever, the number 0 always appears. It's more than just a placeholder, it is very special, for instance, why isn't there a negative 0?

    By extension, 000 is a number just like 111 is a number. If it wasn't a number, what else would it be?

    From a non-mathemetician:

    It probably is and isn't. The character 0 is usually more of a place holder when used with other numbers. It is actually its placement relative to the other integers which gives the entire number its value. I can't think of anything which 000 alone would represent which is not represented by the single 0 to indicate no quantity. That is 000=0=0000000000000000. But with other integers, 10000000>1000>10>0>.01>.0001>.00000001

    If it is technically a number, I would say it's not a useful or even interesting number.

    Omission of number factor

    [ 000 ] -> [ 000.000 ]
    [ 000 ] -> [ 000.000123 ]
    [ 000 ] -> [ 1,000 ]

    (2) If ( 0 ) = (Number)
    [ 000 ] -> Zero ( 0 )

    (3) hypothesis (?) -> Number in three place
    [ 000 ] = [ ( 0 )( 0 )( 0 ) ]
    = [ ( 1-1 )( 1-1 )( 1-1 ) ]

    Is it possible to answer your own question? here is what the internal revenue service advised me. i asked that if i went to the irs office and presented a social security card with the following social security number, that the irs would not accept 000-00-000. why? because it is not a number. so, if the irs does not recognize 0 as a stand-alone number, i can only believe that it is not a number, by itself. it only works when another number is placed before or after it. nothing from nothing is...........nothing!! end

    It is simply another way of representing 0.
    "0", "000", "0.0000000000000 recurring" all equal 0.
    0 is a number as it represents the abcense of something. EG there 3 - 3 = 0, you cant say 3 - 3 = no (as you may say there are no cakes left)

    1) It is primarily a string of digits.

    This string of digits could, in some cases, represent a number inside a numeral system (system of numeration) or a particular convention. However, in some conventions, it could also not be allowed (or just tolerated).


    2) "000" is not a number in the *usual* decimal representation:
    "the usual decimal representation of whole numbers gives every whole number a unique representation as a finite sequence of digits"
    Source and further information:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_system

    "Consider those rational numbers which have only the factors 2 and 5 in the denominator, i.e. which can be written as p/(2^a * 5^b). In this case there is a terminating decimal representation. For instance 1/1=1, 1/2=0.5, 3/5=0.6, 3/25=0.12 and 1306/1250=1.0448. Such numbers are the only real numbers which do not have a unique decimal representation, as they can also be written as a representation that has a recurring 9, for instance 1=0.99999…, 1/2=0.499999…, etc."
    Source and further information:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_ten

    This means that in the *usual* decimal representation of whole numbers, to achieve this uniqueness of representation, no leading zeros are allowed. As "000" is not a number, "0" has to be used.


    3) A telephone number is usually a string of digits, where the indication of leading zeros is essential.

    "000 (also known as triple-zero or triple-O) is the primary national emergency number in Australia.[1] The Emergency Call Service is operated by Telstra Corporation Limited as a condition of its telecommunications licence, and is intended only for use in life-threatening or time-critical emergencies. Other emergency numbers in Australia are 112 for GSM mobile phones — which is redirected to a 000 operator — and 106 for TDD textphones. 000 was also the emergency number in Finland and Denmark until introducing the 112 number in 1993."
    Source and further information:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/000

    It would be absurd to say that this "000" could be equivalent to "0" in this case, because the dialing of "000" would not have the same effect than the dialing of just "0".


    4) "A leading zero is any zero that leads a number string with a non-zero value. For example, James Bond's famous identifier, 007, has two leading zeros. Often, leading zeros are found on non-electronic and LED digital displays that contain fixed sets of digits, such as the manual counter, the stopwatch, the odometer, and the digital clock. Leading zeros are also generated by many older computer programs when creating values to assign to new records, accounts and other files, and as such are likely to be used by utility billing systems, human resources information systems and government databases. Many digital cameras and other electronic media recording devices use leading zeros when creating and saving new files. They can also be used to prevent fraud by filling in character positions that might normally be empty.

    Leading zeros are used to make ascending order of numbers correspond with alphabetical order: e.g. 11 comes alphabetically before 2, but after 02. See e.g. ISO 8601. This does not work with negative numbers, though, whether leading zeroes are used or not: −23 comes alphabetically after −01, −1, and −22, although it is less than all of them."
    Source and further information:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading_zero

    I am sure that James Bond would not appreciate to be called "agent 7".


    5) Some computer programs allow you to enter or set values with leading zeros, but the leading zeros will usually be cut by the display commands, except if you use some special formats.
