Ever wondered why 1 is called one and 2 is called 2 and why the increment is 1,2,3,4, etc..? If you have wondered about that without getting an answer to your question you are checking the right post. I came across this image in one of the forums I was browsing which actually explains the numbers as they are. Why the order 1,2,3,4,5…. And why was 2 not one and 4 not 2! 
Check the image out yourself.
