Indian vs International numbering
Pakistan and India use the Indian numbering system: after thousand comes lakh (1,00,000) and then crore (1,00,00,000). The International system instead uses million (1,000,000) and billion (1,000,000,000). One crore equals ten million. Our converter handles both — toggle the system above and compare.
| Number | Indian system | International system |
|---|---|---|
| 100,000 | one lakh | one hundred thousand |
| 1,000,000 | ten lakh | one million |
| 10,000,000 | one crore | ten million |
| 100,000,000 | ten crore | one hundred million |
| 1,000,000,000 | one arab | one billion |

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a number to words?
Type the number into the converter above. It converts instantly — for example, 42000 becomes "forty-two thousand" in the International system or "forty-two thousand" in the Indian system too (they match until one lakh). For larger amounts like 2500000, choose Indian for "twenty-five lakh" or International for "two million five hundred thousand".
How do you write 125000 in words?

What is the difference between lakh and million?
One lakh = 100,000 = 0.1 million. Ten lakh = 1,000,000 = one million. One crore = 10,000,000 = ten million. The Indian system groups digits as 1,00,000 (lakh) and 1,00,00,000 (crore); the International system groups as 1,000,000 (million) and 1,000,000,000 (billion).
