This unusual number format can sometimes cause confusion, particularly when converting huge numbers to words.Numbers are portrayed differently in India than they are in other parts of the world.

Before we go into the conversion logic, let's quickly review how the Indian numbering system differs from the international one:

• 1,000: One thousand
• 10,000: Ten thousand
• 1,00,000: One lakh
• 10,00,000: Ten lakhs
• 1,00,00,000: One crore
• 10,00,00,000: Ten crores

In this method, the placement of commas also varies. Commas appear after every two digits following the first three digits (e.g., 1,23,45,678), whereas in the international system, commas appear after every three digits.
