Question

Write the following number in words in the Indian system of numeration:
\[4,05,045\].

Answer 1

Hint: In order to write a number in Indian system of numeration, we firstly need to understand the rules for it. The last three digits in hundreds form, the middle two in thousands form and the first two in lakhs.

Complete step by step answer:
First of all, let us look at the number and count the number of digits in the number
\[4,05,045\]
Here this number comprises of \[6\] digits
Dividing the digits in the different forms starting from the right, Taking the last three digits, these form the hundreds form in the number, moving to the left , the next two digits form the thousands form and finally the next one digit that is at the extreme left , forms the lakhs form.
If there were more digits at the left, we would have reached the crores form.
Now, consider the digits,
\[045\]
These form the hundreds form, but the first digit is zero, so the number becomes
Forty five
Taking the next two digits at left, \[05\]
This forms the thousands place so, we get
Five thousand
Taking the digit at extreme left
That makes four lakhs.
So, the whole number becomes
Four lakhs five thousand forty five.

Note: Dividing the digits in the different forms starting from the right, Taking the last three digits, these form the hundreds form in the number, moving to the left , the next two digits form the thousands form and finally the next one digit that is at the extreme left , forms the lakhs form.
As the first digit in the hundreds form is zero, so we have to take forty five only and no use of the word hundreds.
