The numbers used in most languages
remain the same apart from Roman, Greek,
etc., numbers that are really different in
nature. However, the only difference to
other languages’ numbers may be the way
they are written. Igbo numbers are similar
to those of other languages.
Starting from “0” which is called “adigi.” 1 is
called “otu.” 2 is called “abụọ.” 3 is called
“atọ.” 4 is called “anọ.” 5 is called “ise.”
The following are Igbo numbers:
0 = adigi
1 = otu
2 = abụọ
3 = atọ
4 = anọ
5 = ise
6 = isii
7 = asaa
8 = asato
9 = itoolu
10 = iri
11 = iri na otu
12 = iri na abụọ
13 = iri na atọ
14 = iri na anọ
15 = iri na ise
16 = iri na isii
17 = iri na asaa
18 = iri na asato
19 = iri na itoolu
20 = iri abụọ
21 = iri abụọ na otu
22 = iri abụọ na abụọ
23 = iri abụọ na atọ
24 = iri abụọ na anọ
25 = iri abụọ na ise
26 = iri abụọ na isii
27 = iri abụọ na asaa
28 = iri abụọ na asato
29 = iri abụọ na itoolu

calculating Igbo numbers from 20 onwards,

of them and below in red is also another
way.

In Igbo maths or calculations,
multiplication, addition, subtraction and
division can be done.
Add (gbako or ngbako)
Let’s say that you wish to add 100 plus 359
it gives 459 (gbako 100 na 359 ya buta 459).
Subtract (wepuga or nwepuga)
Subtract 196 from 382 it remains 186
(wepuga 196 ebe 382 nọ, ya fọ 186).
Divide (kewa or nkewa)
Divide $10,000 to 125 people, each person
will get $80 (kewa $10,000 ebe ndi mmadu
dị 125 nọ, ọnye ọwula ga ekete $80).
Multiply (bule or nbuli)
Multiply 667 by 33 will give 22,011 (bule 667
ụgbele 33 ga enye 22,011).
