— How it works
Million = lakh ÷ 10. Lakh = million × 10. (1 lakh = 10⁵, 1 million = 10⁶.)
Ten lakh make a million
A lakh is 100,000 and a million is 1,000,000, so it takes ten lakh to reach a million — they sit one power of ten apart (10⁵ and 10⁶). This is the clean anchor between the two systems at the smaller end: 10 lakh = 1 million. It comes up constantly when reading salaries, startup funding and house prices that are quoted in lakh in India but in million internationally.
Common values: 1 lakh = 0.1 million 5 lakh = 0.5 million 10 lakh = 1 million 50 lakh = 5 million 100 lakh = 10 million (= 1 crore) Going back: 1 million = 10 lakh, 2.5 million = 25 lakh, 10 million = 100 lakh = 1 crore.
Reading the two written forms
Ten lakh is written 10,00,000 in the Indian system and 1,000,000 in the international one. The digits are the same; the Indian convention just groups the last three then every two, while the international one groups every three. A figure like 25,00,000 (25 lakh) is 2,500,000 (2.5 million) once regrouped. The converter shows both forms at once so the comma shift is visible.
