Answer: One Billion is equal to ten thousand lakhs
In the Indian numbering system, the term lakh and crore are expressed as
1 lakh = 1,00,000
1 crore = 1,00,00,000
The one crore implies ten million. In reference to the Indian numbering scheme, it equals 100 lakhs (1.00.00.000).
The key difference between the International number system and the Indian number system is the position of comas. Millions are written after thousands in the international numbering method when in the Indian system, lakhs are written after thousands. In countries including Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Myanmar the Indian numbering system is commonly used. The word crores are mostly used to denote large sums of money in India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan.
