What to Focus On

  • Numbers are grouped in sets of three digits from the right.
  • Main periods: Ones, Thousands, Millions, Billions.
  • Commas are used to separate the periods.
  • Each period has three places: Hundreds, Tens, and Ones.
  • Commas separate every three digits from the right.
  • The first comma comes after three digits (thousands), the second after six digits (millions).
  • Indian system uses Lakhs and Crores; International uses Millions and Billions.
  • Indian grouping: 3-2-2 (after first three, then two digits); International: 3-3-3.
  • 1 Million = 10 Lakh, 1 Billion = 100 Crore.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Students think 1 million is 10 lakh, so they write 1,000,000 as 10,00,000 in International system.

Students believe 'million' means 7-digit number, so they think 1,000,000 is 6-digit.

Students place commas after every two digits in International system, like Indian system.

Memory Tips
