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.
