100 million in crores – meaning and representation
What do you mean by a million?
One million, a natural number, is the product of 1000 thousand and can be represented as 1M, where M corresponds to million. A million has six zeros. In this article, we will look at the representation and meaning of 100 million in crores. But before that, we must learn a bit about the International and Indian number systems.
The chart given below explains the number of zeros in various values and their representation in the International number system and the Indian number system.
| Value | Number of zeros | International number system | Indian number system |
| Million | 6 | 1,000,000 | 10,00,000 |
| Billion | 9 | 1,000,000,000 | 1,00,00,00,000 |
| Trillion | 12 | 1,000,000,000,000 | 10,00,00,00,00,000 |
| Quadrillion | 15 | 1,000,000,000,000,000 | 1,00,00,00,00,00,00,000 |
| Quintillion | 18 | 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 | 10,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,000 |
| Sextillion | 21 | 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 | 1,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,000 |
Numbers can confuse us, especially big numbers. With the help of periods, we can read and understand the value of numbers more easily. Different periods are used in the international number system, such as thousands, ten thousand, hundred thousand, millions, etc. These periods are a representation of the grouping of zeros together.
Here’s a fun fact:
A number with 100 zeros is called googol and it looks like 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

100 million in the Indian number system
In the Indian numbering system, the number of digits within a period varies compared to the international number system. Both the numbering systems represent the same name for ones, tens, hundreds, thousands and ten thousand, but beyond that, the naming and the grouping of zeros within the period changes.
Have a look at the table below to understand.
| Indian number system | International number system |
| 1,00,000 = 1 lakh | 100,000 = 1 hundred thousand |
| 10,00,000 = 10 lakhs | 1,000,000 = 1 million |
| 1,00,00,000 = One crore | 10,000,000 = Ten million |
| 10,00,00,000 = 10 crores | 100,000,000 = 100 million |
So, according to the Indian number system, 100 million is equal to 10 crores. Hence, 100 million in numbers in India refers to 10 crores.
| Millions | Lakhs |
| 100 million | 10 crores |
| 200 million | 20 crores |
| 500 million | 50 crores |
