Understanding Number Conversion

What is Number Conversion?

Number conversion is the process of expressing a quantity in different units or scales. It's particularly useful when dealing with large numbers or when working across different numbering systems used in various parts of the world.

Conversion Formulas

The general formula for converting a number to a different scale is:

\[\text{Converted Number} = \frac{\text{Original Number}}{\text{Conversion Factor}}\]

Where the Conversion Factor depends on the type of conversion:

• Million: 1,000,000
• Billion: 1,000,000,000
• Thousands: 1,000
• Hundreds: 100
• Lakh: 100,000 (Indian numbering system)
• Crore: 10,000,000 (Indian numbering system)

Calculation Steps

Let's convert 5,000,000 to millions:

1. Identify the original number: 5,000,000
2. Determine the conversion factor for millions: 1,000,000
3. Apply the formula: 5,000,000 ÷ 1,000,000 = 5

Therefore, 5,000,000 = 5 million
