Indian Numeration System
A place value system where commas are placed after the first three digits from the right, and then after every two digits (e.g., 1,23,45,678 for Crores, Lakhs, Thousands, and Ones).
International Numeration System
A place value system where commas are placed after every three digits from the right, grouping numbers into Ones, Thousands, and Millions (e.g., 12,345,678).
Place Value and Face Value
Face value is the actual digit itself, while place value is the product of the digit and its position value in the number.
Rounding Off Numbers

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know where to place commas in the Indian and International systems?
In the Indian system, put a comma after the hundreds place, and then after every two digits. In the International system, put a comma after every three digits from the right.
What is the difference between place value and face value?
Face value never changes and is the digit itself. Place value changes depending on where the digit is located in the number.
How do I round off a number to the nearest 100?
Look at the digit in the tens place. If it is 5 or more, round up by increasing the hundreds digit by 1 and making tens and ones zero. If it is less than 5, keep the hundreds digit the same and change tens and ones to zero.
