Plain digits — no commas
How to write it
- Start from the unit itself. One million is 1,000,000 — a 1 followed by 6 zeros.
- 8.5 million means 8.5 × 1,000,000. Moving the decimal point 6 places to the right gives 8500000.
- Now punctuate it. Indian grouping puts a comma three digits from the right and then one every two digits, giving 85,00,000. Forms, bank fields and spreadsheets that reject commas want the plain form above.
