Question

How many thousands make a crore?

Answer 1

Hint: Here, we have to use the concept of numbering unit that is used commonly in the numbering system. Both thousand and crore is an Indian numbering unit and 1 crore stands equivalent to hundreds of lakh and 1 lakh stands equivalent to hundreds of thousands. So, we will divide 1 crore by 1 thousand to get the number of thousands which make a crore.

Complete step-by-step answer:
As 1 lakh stands equivalent to hundreds of thousands which means 1 lakh is equal to \[1,00,000\]
And 1 crore stands equivalent to hundreds of lakh which means 1 crore is equal to \[1,00,00,000\]
And 1 thousand is equal to\[1,000\]
So, now we will divide 1 crore by 1 thousand to find out the number of thousands which make a crore.
Number of thousands which make a crore \[ = \dfrac{{{\rm{1 crore}}}}{{{\rm{1 thousand}}}} = \dfrac{{1,00,00,000}}{{1,000}} = 10000\]
So, Number of thousands which make a crore \[ = 10000\]
Hence, 10000 thousands which make a crore.
We can also say that 1 crore is equal to 10000 thousands.

Note: There are generally two type of numbering system i.e. International numbering system and Indian numbering system. In international numbering units, 1 million stands equivalent to thousands of thousands. 1 billion stands equivalent to thousands of million. In Indian numbering unit, 1 lakh stands equivalent to hundreds of thousands. 1 crore stands equivalent to hundreds of lakh.
1 million is equal to 10 lakhs. 1 billion is equal to 10000 lakhs or 1 billion is equal to 100 crores.
Generally all over the world the International numbering system is followed and Indian numbering system is only followed in India. But in an international transaction, at that time we follow the international number system or while representing some data globally all over the world then also we use the international number system.
