Our Numbering System

The numbering system we use currently to denote numeric values is the Indian Numbering System which is based on the Vedic numbering system in which numbers over 9,999 are written in two-digit groups (or a mix of two- and three-digit groups) rather than the three-digit groups used in most other parts of the world.

In Pakistan we do not use this numbering system in English media but only in Urdu & other regional languages.

Commonly we use Laakh and Carore for Hundred Thousand and Ten Million respectively.  Some of us also know that beyond carore we can use Arab and Kharab, but many of us don't know beyond that. Following is the table of numerical values with their names in Indian Numbering System just for your knowledge.
