- rikacomet 14y agoyes, in simple 1 Lakh = 100 Thousand 1 Crore = 10 Million They fall in between the million-billion range. 1--> billion 0--> 10 crore/100 million 0--> crore 0--> million 0--> lakh 0--> ten thousand 0--> thousand 0--> hundred 0--> tens 0--> ones
- gingerjoos 14y agoIt's the way numbers are written in India. 1,00,000 ( = 100,000 ) is 1 lakh and 1,00,00,000 ( = 10,000,000 ) is 1 crore. Millions and billions are not used a lot, but most people know what they are. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Asian_numbering_system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Asian_numbering_system

- petilon 14y agoThe modern decimal numbering system was invented in India. Without it we'd be using Roman numerals. What we call "Arabic numerals" is called "Indian numerals" in Arabic countries because that's where the Arabs got it from!
