Indian names for big numbers
Ganitha Kerala, the Kerala School of Astronomy and Maths, has given a lot of names for big numbers.
Like the Western
Myriad = 10^4
Million = 10^6
Indian names are
Shata = 10^2
Sahasra = 10^3
Ayutha = 10^4
Laksha = 10^5
Dasa Laksha = 10^6 ( Million )
Koti = 10^7
Dasa Koti = 10^8
Vrinda = 10^9
Kharva = 10^10
Nikharva = 10^11
Mahapadma = 10^12
Mahakharva = 10^13
Padma = 10^14
In the Western, we have
Million = 1000^2
Billion = 1000^3
Trillion = 1000^4
or
Nillion = 1000^(n+1)
where n is the number. Tri meaning 3 and trillion = 1000^(3+1)!

It's truly a wonderful and steady piece of information. I am satisfied that you basically bestowed this accommodating information to us. On the off chance that it's not all that much inconvenience stay us taught along these lines. Thankful for sharing
