I came across a term '1 lakh' in some financial documents and I'm not sure how to interpret it. I know it's a number used in some parts of the world, but I need to understand its equivalent in a more common numerical system.

    One of these terms is "lakh," which refers to 1,00,000 or one hundred thousand.

    Within Pakistan, this number is written as 100,000, while outside the Indian subcontinent, the same number is written in the international format.

    Another commonly used term is "crore," which is equivalent to 1,00,00,000 or ten million.

    In Indian English, there are specific terms used to express large numbers.
