In short

What is the Indian Number Format Converter?

This converter writes a number in the Indian system with lakh and crore grouping, such as 12,34,567, and in the international system, such as 1,234,567. It also shows the value in lakh and in crore. Enter the number and copy whichever format you need.

How it works

The Indian system groups the last three digits and then pairs of digits. The international system groups every three digits. One lakh is 100,000 and one crore is 10,000,000, so the lakh value is the number divided by 100,000 and the crore value divides by 10,000,000.

How to use it

  1. Type or paste the number.
  2. Read the Indian comma format.
  3. Read the international comma format.
  4. Use the lakh and crore values where you need a short form.
