Understanding large numbers like million, billion, and trillion can be daunting, but breaking them down into simpler terms can make them more manageable. Let's take a closer look at these numbers and how they are expressed in both the Indian and US counting systems.
1. Million, Billion, Trillion in the US System:
- Million: This is equivalent to adding one more thousand to 1,000, making it 1,000,000.
- Billion: Adding two more thousands to 1,000 gives us 1,000,000,000.
- Trillion: By adding three more thousands to 1,000, we arrive at 1,000,000,000,000.
2. Million, Billion, Trillion in the Indian System:
- 1 Million is written as 10,00,000, which is also referred to as 10 lakhs.
- 1 Billion is written as 1,00,00,00,000, which is also known as 100 crore.
- 1 Trillion is written as 10,00,00,00,00,000, which is also called 100,000 crore.
To remember the order, you can use the acronym K (Thousand), M (Million), B (Billion), T (Trillion), or simply think of it as Thousand, Million, Billion, Trillion.
It's important to note that 1 billion rupees and 1 billion dollars are not the same. You'll need to use the conversion rate to find the equivalent in your currency. Currently, 1 USD is equal to Rs. 83.28, so 1 Billion USD is 83.28 times 100 crore, which equals 8328 crore.
Now, let's delve into the relationship between the US and Indian counting measures:
In the US, 1 billion is equivalent to 1000 million. Similarly, in India, 1 crore is equal to 100 lakhs. Therefore, 1 billion in the US system is equal to 100 crore in the Indian system.
To convert dollars into rupees, you can use the following calculation:
1 USD = 80 INR (assuming the conversion rate is 1 USD to 80 INR).
Thus, 1 billion USD in rupees would be 80 billion INR, which is equivalent to 8000 crore INR.
In conclusion, understanding the differences in counting systems and conversion rates between countries is essential for accurate financial calculations and comparisons.
