— How it works
Lakh = crore × 100. Crore = lakh ÷ 100. (1 crore = 10⁷, 1 lakh = 10⁵.)
Crore to lakh: just multiply by a hundred
A crore (1,00,00,000) is exactly one hundred times a lakh (1,00,000), so converting one to the other is a matter of multiplying by 100 going down to lakh, or dividing by 100 going up to crore. The two units sit two powers of ten apart — crore is 10⁷ and lakh is 10⁵ — which is why a single crore unpacks into a hundred lakh. Both are everyday units in the Indian number system: lakh for sums in the hundred-thousands, crore for the tens of millions.
Common values: 1 crore = 100 lakh 5 crore = 500 lakh 10 crore = 1,000 lakh 50 crore = 5,000 lakh 100 crore = 10,000 lakh Going back: 1 lakh = 0.01 crore, 50 lakh = 0.5 crore, 100 lakh = 1 crore.
Same rupees, different commas
Lakh and crore are not different amounts of money — they are different names for different magnitudes within the same Indian grouping system, which places a comma after the last three digits and then after every two. One crore is written 1,00,00,000 and one lakh is 1,00,000; line them up and the crore simply has two more digits. The converter shows the full number in both the Indian and international groupings so the relationship is unmistakable.
