A crore is a unit in the Indian numbering system equal to 10,000,000 (ten million in the Western system). It's written as 1,00,00,000 in the Indian format with commas placed differently than in Western notation. One crore equals 100 lakh. The term is widely used in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka for financial and statistical purposes.
The Indian numbering system groups digits differently than the Western system. After the first three digits from the right, commas are placed every two digits instead of every three. For example, 10 million is written as 1,00,00,000 (one crore) in the Indian system versus 10,000,000 in the Western system. This system uses units like lakh (100,000) and crore (10,000,000).
The most visible difference between systems is comma placement. Western: 1,000,000 (one million) vs Indian: 10,00,000 (ten lakh). Western: 10,000,000 (ten million) vs Indian: 1,00,00,000 (one crore). This different grouping reflects the unique units in each system and affects how numbers are read and understood.
In India, financial statements, property values, salaries, and economic data are commonly expressed in lakhs and crores. For example, a house might be listed at 2 crore rupees, or a company's revenue might be 500 crore. When dealing with international business, conversions to millions and billions become essential for clear communication.
To convert crores to millions, multiply by 10:
Example 1: 5 crore = 5 × 10 = 50 million
Example 2: 2.5 crore = 2.5 × 10 = 25 million
Example 3: 100 crore = 100 × 10 = 1,000 million (1 billion)
To convert millions to crores, divide by 10:
Example 1: 50 million = 50 ÷ 10 = 5 crore
Example 2: 25 million = 25 ÷ 10 = 2.5 crore
Example 3: 1,000 million = 1,000 ÷ 10 = 100 crore
International Business: Converting financial figures between Indian and Western formats for global business transactions and reports.
Real Estate: Understanding property valuations that may be listed in crores in India but need to be expressed in millions for international investors.
Financial Reporting: Converting company revenues, market caps, and financial statements between Indian and international accounting standards.
Investment Analysis: Comparing investment opportunities and portfolio values across Indian and global markets.
Economic Data: Understanding GDP figures, government budgets, and economic statistics that use different numbering systems.
One crore equals 10 million. This is a fixed conversion: 1 crore = 10,000,000 = 10 million.
The crore is primarily used in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. These South Asian countries use the Indian numbering system for financial and statistical reporting.
In international (Western) format, simply convert to millions. For example, 5 crore becomes 50 million and is written as 50,000,000 with commas every three digits.
Crore is commonly abbreviated as "Cr" (e.g., 5 Cr or Rs. 5 Cr for 5 crore rupees). In some contexts, you might also see "C" used as an abbreviation.
Yes, 100 crore equals 1 billion. Since 1 crore = 10 million, 100 crore = 100 × 10 million = 1,000 million = 1 billion.
