Larger numbers

If we add one more to the greatest 6-digit number we get the 7-digit number. It is called ten lakh.

If we add one more to the 7-digit number we get the smallest 8-digit number. The smallest 8-digit number is called one crore.

Let’s use a 110 machine to see if that is actually the case. Let us assume that each box can contain at most 9 dots. As you can see the last box has 9 dots. Lets see what happens when we add one more dot to it. Click somewhere in the 1s cell to add 1:

Remember

1 hundred = 10 tens

0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 10 10 10 10 10 10 100 10 10 10 10

10 Tens = 1 Hundred

1 thousand = hundreds = tens

1 lakh = thousands = hundreds

1 crore = lakhs = thousands

Try these

1.What is 10–1= ?

2. What is 100–1=?

3. What is 10,000 – 1 =?

4. What is 1,00,000 – 1 =?

5. What is 1,00,00,000 – 1 =?

Note:

1)10,100,10000,100000,10000000 are the smallest 2-digit, 3-digit,5-digit,6-digit,8-digit numbers respectively.

2)9,99 ,9999,99999,9999999 are the greatest 1-digit,2-digit,4-digit,5-digit,7-digit numbers respectively.

3)We can say that the predecessor of the smallest n-digit number is the grestest (n-1)-digit numbers.

Example: In the above case: Predecessor of the smallest 2-digit number(10) is greatest 1-digit number(9).In this case n=2;Try to apply this concept for the remaining cases.

Match the quantities to the number of digits needed to specify the quantity.
