How many Lakhs make One Billion?
Answer: To know how many lakhs make one billion it is important to understand two different types of numerical systems. One is the Indian numerical system and the other one is the International numerical system. Since lakhs are a part of the Indian numerical system and billion is a part of the International numerical system, it is necessary to know about both the systems and also how they are written. Then the zeroes in each of the numbers are compared to find out the number of lakhs that make one billion.
In the numerical system, first in the given number, the place value, also known as the numerical value of the digit, is determined based on its position in the same number.
In the Indian numeral system, the place or numerical value of the digits are as follows- Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousand, Lakhs, Ten Lakhs, Crores, and so on.
One = 1
Ten = 10
Hundred = 100
Thousand = 1,000
Ten Thousand = 10,000
Lakh = 1,00,000
Ten Lakh = 10,00,000
Crore = 1,00,00,000
Ten Crore = 10,00,00,000
In the International Numeral System, the place value or numerical value of the digits are as follows- Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousands, Hundred Thousands, Millions, Ten Million, and so on.
Ones = 1
Tens = 10
Hundreds = 100
Thousands = 1,000
Ten Thousands = 10,000
Hundred Thousands = 100,000
Millions = 1,000,000
Ten Millions = 10,000,000
Hundred Millions = 1,000,000,000
One Billion = 1,000,000,000
Now, at last, it’s time to find how many lakhs make one billion.
Here given is,
One Billion = 1,000,000,000
One Lakh = 1,00,000
One Billion = n x 1 Lakh
n = One Billion / One Lakh
n = 1,000,000,000 / 1,00,000
n = 10000
Hence, it can be concluded that 10000 Lakhs make One Billion.
