Indian Numbering System

In the Indian numbering system, we use different periods like ones, thousands, lakhs, crores, etc. Suppose, let us understand the Indian system by using number 1: ones (1), tens (10), hundreds (100), thousands (1000), ten thousands (10000), lakhs (1,00,000), ten lakhs (10,00,000), crores (1,00,00,000), ten crores (10,00,00,000) etc.

We form different periods like ones, thousands, lakhs and crores to read the large numbers easily. A comma (,) is used to differentiate the periods.

We know, in the Indian system, we have periods of crores, lakhs, thousands and ones.

Let us understand the system more clearly. Observe the table shown below.
