a. 1 lakh = _____________ ten thousand
b. 1 million = _____________ hundred thousand
c. 1 crore = ______________ ten lakhs
d. 1 crore = ______________ million
e. 1 million = ______________ lakhs

Answer 1

Hint: In this question, we just simply need to fill in the blanks, by putting the appropriate value. The left-hand side and the right-hand side of the equivalent sign needs to be equal when written. Convert the values by writing it in numeric form. The best way is to start from right to left counting the number of digits.

Complete step-by-step answer:
a. 1 lakh = ____________ ten thousand
For this question, first we need to write down the number of 1 lakh and then calculate the number of zeroes there are after 1.
1 lakh = 1,00,000
In this, you need the answer in terms of ten thousand, so count from right to left until the fifth position and place the number 1 on the fifth position and multiply the number by 10.
We get, 1 lakh = 10 x 10,000
Hence, 1 lakh = ____10____ ten thousand.

b. 1 million = ___________ hundred thousand
We know that 1 million is equal to 10 lakhs, convert the 10 lakhs in the form of digits and then count from right to left until the 6^th position or digit and then place the number 1 on 6^th position and multiply the number by 10.
We get, 1 million = 10,00,000
                               = 10 x 100,000
Hence, 1 million = ____10____ hundred thousand

c. 1 crore = __________ ten lakhs
First write down the number and then count the number from right to left until the 7^th position or digit and then place the number 1 on 7^th position and multiply the number by 10.
We get, 1 crore = 1,00,00,000
                             = 10 x 10,00,000
Hence, 1 crore = ____10____ ten lakhs.

d. 1 crore = __________ million
1 million is equivalent to 10 lakhs so, taking the previous question into account, the answer will be 10 million.
Hence, 1 crore = ____10____ million

e. 1 million = __________ lakhs
We know, 1 million is equivalent to 10 lakhs
Hence, 1 million = ____10____ lakhs

Note:Here, never make a mistake in counting the numeric zeros while converting from written to numerical. Always check twice to ensure you do not have the wrong answer. One other way is to memorize how many zeros in 1 lakh, 1 crore, 1 million, etc.
