- 1.47 billion means 1.47 × 1,000,000,000. Moving the decimal point 9 places to the right gives 1470000000.
- Now punctuate it. Indian grouping puts a comma three digits from the right and then one every two digits, giving 1,47,00,00,000. Forms, bank fields and spreadsheets that reject commas want the plain form above.
