10 crore is called 1 arab (or one hundred million).
| Indian Name | Value | English Name |

No, 1 crore isn't the same as 1 million.
As of 2026, 1 crore equals 10 million. That difference trips up a lot of people because India and the West use different numbering systems. Quick cheat sheet: 1 lakh = 100,000; 10 lakhs = 1 million; 100 lakhs = 1 crore.
20 lakhs is written as 20,00,000 in the Indian system.
That's the same as 200,000 in the international system. Notice how the commas work here: after the first three digits from the right, then every two digits. So 50 lakhs becomes 50,00,000.
The smallest 6-digit number is 100,000 (1,00,000 in Indian notation).
That's also called one lakh. The largest 5-digit number is 99,999, so the next number up is our smallest 6-digit number. It's a key benchmark in finance and statistics.
1 billion equals 1,000 million.

The biggest number with a widely recognized name is a googolplex.
Defined as 10 raised to the power of a googol (10^10^100), it's so massive that it makes the number of atoms in the observable universe look tiny. Mathematicians like Prof. Ken Ribet at UC Berkeley discuss these numbers in theoretical work.
