Indian and International Place Value Chart
Indian Place Value Chart:
Place value tells us the value of each digit in a numeral based on its
position. A place value chart helps us to recognize large numbers. We
read place value chart from left to right. In Indian system we start
grouping the number from right in group of 3 and further in group of
2.The place value chart have been separated into groups called periods
i.e. ones, thousands, lakhs and crores.
Example:
3,56,245 – Three lakh fifty six thousand two hundred forty five
1,23,50,005- One crore twenty three lakh fifty thousand five
International Place Value Chart:
The place value that is used in many countries of the world is called
International Place Value Chart. To understand the place value of each
digit, we put the number in place value chart so that we can identify each
digit. In International system we start grouping the number from right in
group of 3, called period and we put comma or space after each period to
make the number easily readable.
Example:.
37,987,450 – Thirty seven million nine hundred eighty seven thousand
four hundred fifty
100,000,150- One hundred million one hundred fifty
Let’s compare the two number systems
From above comparison we observe that
100 thousands = 1 lakh
1 million = 10 lakhs
10 millions = 1 crore
100 millions= 10 crores
