How Many Lakhs Are in a Crore?
There are 100 lakhs in 1 crore. 1 crore is 1,00,00,000 and 1 lakh is 1,00,000, so dividing one by the other leaves 100. Going back the other way, 1 lakh is 0.01 crore.
The working
1 crore is 1,00,00,000 — 10⁷. 1 lakh is 1,00,000 — 10⁵. Subtracting the exponents gives 10², which is 100.
So to turn crores into lakhs, multiply by 100: 7 crore is 700 lakh. To turn lakhs back into crores, divide by the same 100.
A useful sanity check when the numbers get large: count the zeros. Crore carries 7 and Lakh carries 5, and the difference — 2 — is exactly the number of zeros in the answer.
