### How it works

Both units measure number, so they are always in the same ratio: one million equals 10 lakh. The calculator multiplies the number of million you type by 10 to give lakh, and when you type into the lakh field it divides by the same factor to give million. Because the ratio never changes, doubling the million always doubles the lakh. Results are calculated at full precision and rounded only for display (up to eight decimal places, with very large or small values shown in scientific notation).

### How to convert million to lakh

- Write down the value in million, for example **1 million**.
- Multiply by the conversion factor 10 (because 1 million = 10 lakh).
- 1 × 10 = **10 lakh**.
- To go back from lakh to million, divide by 10 – or multiply by 0.1.
