📖 About Million to Lakh

South Asian Numbering System & RBI Standards

The South Asian Numbering System groups digits in twos after the initial thousands group, whereas the International System groups digits strictly in threes:

  • 10 Thousand: $10,000$
  • 1 Lakh (L): $1,00,000 = 100,000 = 0.1\text{ Million}$
  • 10 Lakhs: $10,00,000 = 1,000,000 = 1.0\text{ Million}$
  • 1 Crore (Cr): $1,00,00,000 = 10,000,000 = 10.0\text{ Millions}$
  • 10 Crores: $10,00,00,000 = 100,000,000 = 100\text{ Millions}$
  • 100 Crores (1 Arab): $1,00,00,00,000 = 1,000,000,000 = 1.0\text{ Billion}$

Equations

  • $\text{Lakhs} = \text{Millions} \times 10$
  • $\text{Millions} = \frac{\text{Lakhs}}{10}$
