The Crore to Lakh Calculator is designed to convert values between crores and lakhs, two large-value units commonly used in the Indian numbering system. The calculator uses the standard conversion factor where 1 crore equals 100 lakhs. This relationship is fixed and is used throughout the Indian financial system, making it essential for business, real estate, and financial calculations.
Conversion Formula
Lakhs = Crores × 100
This is because:
• 1 Crore = 100 Lakhs
• 1 Crore = 10,000,000 (10 million)
• 1 Lakh = 100,000
The calculator maintains precision by using exact conversion factors and displaying results in the Indian number format with appropriate decimal places. This ensures accuracy in financial calculations while presenting results in a familiar format for Indian users.
The results are displayed in lakhs, formatted according to the Indian numbering system. The conversion is straightforward: any value in crores is multiplied by 100 to get the equivalent in lakhs. For example, 2 crores equals 200 lakhs, 5 crores equals 500 lakhs, and so on. This calculator is particularly useful for:
