42 Lakh in Numbers
42 lakh in numbers is 42,00,000.
Without commas — the form most online forms and bank fields will accept — it is 4200000, a 7-digit number ending in 5 zeros. The international format writes the same figure 4,200,000.
Plain digits — no commas
How to write it
- Start from the unit itself. One lakh is 1,00,000 — a 1 followed by 5 zeros.
- 42 lakh means 42 of those, so write 42 and then the same 5 zeros after it: 4200000.
- Now punctuate it. Indian grouping puts a comma three digits from the right and then one every two digits, giving 42,00,000. Forms, bank fields and spreadsheets that reject commas want the plain form above.
