Wow! That's a lot of mangoes! This is where large numbers come in handy to count and understand big things easily.
2) Core Concepts: What Are Large Numbers?
Large numbers are numbers that are very big, like thousands, lakhs, and crores. In India, we use these words to count big things.
| Number Name | Number | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Thousand (Hazaar) | 1,000 | 1,000 mangoes |
| Lakh (Laakh) | 1,00,000 | 1,00,000 rupees |
| Crore (Koti) | 1,00,00,000 | 1 crore people |
