1 billion in rupees is an important concept when converting large numbers from the international system to the Indian number system. In the international system, 1 billion is written as 1,000,000,000. In the Indian system, this translates to 10,000 lakhs or 100 crores.

In Mathematics, numbers are understood with the help of place value. The place value tells us the importance of each digit in a number based on where it is written.There are two ways in which place value is shown: the Indian System and the International System. To make it simple, a place value chart is used to show the position of each digit in a number.The reading of numbers using place value always starts from the right side. It begins with the one’s place, then the ten’s place, hundred’s place, thousand’s place, and keeps going further as the number becomes larger.In this article, we will explain the value of 1 billion in rupees as per the Indian system of place value. We will also look at the place value charts for both the Indian System and the International System.

1 billion = 1,000,000,000

When converted to the Indian number system,
1 billion in rupees = 10,000 lakhs

Hence, 1 billion in rupees equals ₹1,000,000,000, or simply 100 crores.

 

1 Billion in Lakhs 

To convert 1 billion to lakhs:

  • 1 lakh = 1,00,000

  • 1 billion = 1,000,000,000

  • So,
    1 billion in lakhs = 1,000,000,000 ÷ 100,000 = 10,000 lakhs

Therefore, 1 billion in lakhs = 10,000 lakhs

To convert any billion to lakhs:
X billion = X × 10,000 lakhs

Example:
7 billion = 7 × 10,000 = 70,000 lakhs

1 crore = 1,00,00,000
1 billion = 1,000,000,000
Thus,
1 billion in crores = 1,000,000,000 ÷ 1,00,00,000 = 100 crores

To convert any billion value to crores:
