How many lakhs make a million?

10 lakhs

In India, we use the Indian Number System, where:

1 lakh = 1,00,000

In contrast, in the International Number System, we use million, where:

1 million = 1,000,000 (which is equal to 10 lakhs)

Therefore, 10 lakhs make a million.

To put it simply:

1 lakh = 100,000

1 million = 1,000,000

So, 1,000,000 ÷ 100,000 = 10

Thus, 10 lakhs = 1 million.

This helps in understanding the difference between the Indian and International systems.
