In the Indian Numbering System, digits are assigned place values starting from the right. These place values include ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands, and continue to grow as the number increases.

For example, in the number 16, the digit 6 is in the ones place, and 1 is in the tens place.

Starting from the right, the order goes:
Ones → Tens → Hundreds → Thousands → Ten Thousands → Lakhs → Ten Lakhs → Crores

Each digit will have its value based on its position in the number.

Let’s take an example of the number 15.
The number is written as:
Fifteen

There are no higher place values in these numbers because they are between 11 and 20.

Just like the Indian Numbering System, the International Numbering System also uses names, and they differ for bigger numbers. The place value starts from the right. The place values are:
Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Hundred Thousands, Millions, Ten Millions, Hundred Millions, and so on.

Let’s take the example of 19.
The number is written as:
Nineteen

Again, there are no higher place values in these numbers because they are between 11 and 20.
