Convert crore to million and million to crore when Indian figures need to be read, reported or compared internationally.
1 crore = 10 million
A crore is 10,000,000 and a million is 1,000,000, so a crore is ten times larger. To convert, shift the decimal point one place: 2.5 crore is 25 million, and 50 million is 5 crore. The number of zeros is the same in either system. Only the names and comma positions differ.
