Understanding the Indian Number System:

In the Indian numbering system, large numbers are categorized into thousands, lakhs, and crores.
Each category is expressed in words in a specific manner.

Key Terms:

 Thousands: 1,000 (One thousand)

 Lakhs: 1,00,000 (One lakh)

 Crores: 1,00,00,000 (One crore)

Writing Numbers in Words:

1. Identify the Place Values:
