NUMBERS

1 crore is equal to how many millions?

One crore is 10 million. Translate between Indian and international number names.

01

One number, two naming systems

1 crore = 10,000,000 = 10 million. A million contains six zeros; a crore contains seven.

02

A worked example

To convert 3.2 crores into millions, multiply 3.2 by 10. The result is 32 million. To go back from millions to crores, divide by 10: 45 million = 4.5 crores.

03

Names do not convert currencies

This calculation changes the scale used to describe a number. It does not turn one currency into another. If a figure is in rupees, it remains in rupees after converting crores to millions.
