aisan cultures do orders of 10 in groups of four instead of three.
so western is thousand, million, billion and so on, which are 10^3
east Asian is by 10^4, so the word for 10,000 is mahn in Korean,...
1 lakh = एक लाख = 1,00,000
1 crore = एक करोड़= 1,00,00,000
👆 Indian number system
"east Asian is by 10^4, so the word for 10,000 is mahn in Korean, and 100,000 is 10 mahn and so on."
......Sino origin number system has a further measure, and unique word, at 1亿 = 100,000,000. Given Korean is sino based I assume also in Korea 100 million is named similarly...... 1억 (?)
