The Indian numbering system, used in India and neighboring countries, groups numbers differently than the international norm, employing two-digit separators for numbers over 9,999. Large numbers are expressed using terms like lakh (100,000) and crore (10,000,000), with specific formatting for Indian currencies. The document also highlights variations in terminology across different Indian languages.
![ The terms lakh or lac (100,000 or
1,00,000 in the Indian system)
and crore (10,000,000 or
1,00,00,000 in the Indian
system)[1] are used in Indian
English to express large
numbers. For example, in India
150,000 rupees becomes 1.5 lakh
rupees, written as ₹1,50,000 or
INR 1,50,000, while 30,000,000
(thirty million) rupees becomes 3
crore rupees, written
as ₹3,00,00,000 with commas at
the thousand, lakh,
and crore levels, and
1,000,000,000 (one billion) rupees
(one hundred crore rupees) is
written ₹1,00,00,00,000.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/indiannumbersystem-170508063827/85/Indian-number-system-3-320.jpg)

Indian number system
- 1. INDIAN NUMBER SYSTEM By:- Slide_maker4u (Abhishek Sharma)
- 2. INTRODUCTION The Indian numbering system is used in India as well as in Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan. It is based on the Vedic numbering system in which numbers over 9,999 are written in two-digit groups (or a mix of two- and three-digit groups) rather than the three-digit groups used in most other parts of the world. In Pakistan, this system is used in Urdu and other regional language media, but not in English- language media
- 3. The terms lakh or lac (100,000 or 1,00,000 in the Indian system) and crore (10,000,000 or 1,00,00,000 in the Indian system)[1] are used in Indian English to express large numbers. For example, in India 150,000 rupees becomes 1.5 lakh rupees, written as ₹1,50,000 or INR 1,50,000, while 30,000,000 (thirty million) rupees becomes 3 crore rupees, written as ₹3,00,00,000 with commas at the thousand, lakh, and crore levels, and 1,000,000,000 (one billion) rupees (one hundred crore rupees) is written ₹1,00,00,00,000.
- 4. USE OF SEPARATORS The Indian numbering system uses separators differe ntly from the international norm; in such numbers of at least one lakh (one hundred thousand), a comma divides every two rather than every three digits to the left of the last three, thus: This accords with the Indian numbering system, which has units for thousands, hundreds of thousands, tens of millions, etc.
