The table given above tells us the following points related to the Indian place-value system:
- The nine places are divided into four periods: Ones, Thousands, Lakhs, and Crores.
- All the periods are separated by a comma when we write the number in its numeral form.
- The rightmost period is ones, and it consists of three place values: ones, tens, and hundreds.
- The second period is thousands, and it consists of two place-values: thousands and ten thousand.
- The third period is lakhs, and it consists of two place-values: lakhs and ten lakhs.
- The fourth period is crores, and it consists of two place-values: crores and ten crores.
- All the digits in the same period are read together along with the name of the period except ones period.
For example: In the Indian numeration system, 2930625 will be written as 29,30,625 and read as “Twenty Nine Lakhs Thirty Thousands Six Hundred Twenty-Five.”
Indian Place Value for Decimals:
According to the Indian place value system, the place values of digits after the decimal point are read in the order of Tenths, Hundredths, Thousandths, and so on.
For Example: In the decimal number 14.532
1 is at Ones place.
4 is at Tens place.
5 is at Tenths place.
3 is at Hundredths place and
1 is at Thousandths place.
This number is read as “Fourteen point Five Three Two”
