South Asia counts in lakhs and crores instead of millions and billions: one lakh is 100,000 and one crore is 100 lakh, or 10 million. So converting is a matter of one division — lakhs divided by 10 gives millions.
A few conversions you will use constantly: 5 lakh = 0.5 million, 25 lakh = 2.5 million, 1 crore = 10 million. Property listings, salaries, and company valuations in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal are almost always quoted in lakhs or crores, which is exactly where the converter earns its keep.
