How many zeros in a million? If that is the question you have in your mind you are in the right place. You won’t believe if I tell you, the number of times I have seen senior executives getting stumbled on this question (number of zeros in million) during board meetings. This particularly happens when you work for an american or european MNC as they always talk in Millions or Billions of dollars. I acknowledge that it has also bothered me in the beginning. So, I quickly made my formula, which I am going to share below: 1 Million = 10 Lakhs = 1 followed by 6 Zeros = 1,000,000 10 Million = 1 Crore = 100 Lakhs 100 Million = 10 crore = 1000 Lakhs 1000 Million = 100 Crore = 1 Billion = 10000 Lakhs 1 Billion = 100 Crore = 1 Followed by 9 Zeros = 1,000,000,000 Great, so I hope that you have noticed: 1 Million has two blocks of Three Zeros : 1(000)(000) 1 Billion has three blocks of Three Zeros : 1(000)(000)(000) 1 Trillion has 4 blocks of Three Zeros: 1(000)(000)(000)(000) Now if you are converting Crore to Millions this is how you should go about. 1 Crore is 10 Million (5 Crore is 50 Million; 12 Crore is 120 Million) 10 Crore is 100 Million 100 crore is 1000 Million or 1 Billion Therefore, How many Zeros in a Million: 6

US$ 1 Million in
Crores?

7. Simple Answer:
Depends on Exchange rate!
If you know the Exchange Rate you can
quickly calculate it.
Here is the trick!

8. First, find out the Rupee to US$ exchange rate.
Second Divide the value of US$ in Indian rupees by 10.
For Example
If 1US$ = Rs 70, then after diving it by 10 it becomes 7.
If 1US$ = Rs 65, then after diving it by 10 it becomes 6.5.
If 1US$ = Rs 69, then after diving it by 10 it becomes 6.9.

9. Now just add Crore to the number you have got:
For example, when the number above is 7, it becomes Rs 7 crores.
Means US$ 1 Million is 7 crore.
For example, when the number above is 6.5, it becomes Rs 6.5
crores.
Means US$ 1 Million is 6.5 crore.
For example, when the number above is 6.9, it becomes Rs 6.9
crores.
Means US$ 1 Million is 6.9 crore.
