Introduction

The Indian numbering system is a place-value system, where each place value is a power of 10. The first place value represents ones, the second represents tens, the third represents hundreds, and so on. In the case of 1 lakh, it has five digits, with the first digit representing lakhs, the second digit representing ten thousand, the third digit representing thousands, the fourth digit representing hundreds, and the fifth digit representing tens.

One lakh is a term used in the Indian numbering system to represent the number 1,00,000. To determine how many tens are in 1 lakh, we need to consider that each ten is equivalent to 10 units. Therefore, we can divide the number 1 lakh by 10 to find the number of tens.

How Many Tens are There in 1 Lakh?

1 lakh is equal to 100,000 in the Indian numbering system, which has a place-value system based on powers of 10.

To determine how many tens are in 1 lakh, we need to first understand that the second digit in 1 lakh represents ten thousand. So we can break down 1 lakh into 10 units of 10,000, which gives us:

1\: lakh = 10\times 10,000

Therefore, 1 lakh is equal to 10 tens of thousand.

Place Value of One lakh

Let's arrange one lakh in the place value table according to the Indian Number System:

Lakh	Ten Thousand	Thousand	Hundred	Tens	Ones
1	0	0	0	0	0

10	times	Ten Thousand	Thousand	Hundred	Tens	Ones
10	times	1	0	0	0	0

Here, we see that 1,00,000 is nothing but the expansion of 10 times 10,000. Since 10,000 is equal to ten thousand, we can substitute that into the equation:

\textrm{1 lakh = 10 x ten thousand}

How do calculate the tens?

To find out how many tens are there in 1 lakh, we need to focus on the fifth digit, which represents tens. As we know, there are ten digits in the base 10 numbering system, and each digit can represent ten values ranging from 0 to 9. In the fifth digit, there are 10 values ranging from 0 to 9, so we can have 10 tens in each of the other four digits.

When we multiply 10 tens by 10,000, which is the value of the fourth digit, we get 100,000. Similarly, if we divide 1 lakh by 100, which is the value of the third digit, we get 1,000, which means there are 1,000 hundred in 1 lakh.

10000\times 10 = 1,00,000

This shows that there are 10 ten thousand in one lakh.

1,00,000\div 100 = 1,000

Thus, there are 1000 hundred in one lakh.

When we divide 1 lakh by 10, we get 10,000, which represents the number of tens in 1 lakh. So, there are 10,000 tens in 1 lakh. This information is particularly useful for various mathematical and financial calculations in India, where the Indian numbering system is widely used.

1,00,000\div 10 = 10,000

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How many tens are there in 1 lakh and 50 thousand?

1 lakh and 50 thousand can be written as 1,50,000.

The expanded form of 1 lakh and 50 thousand = 1,00,000+ 50,000=1,50,000

To find out the number of tens in this value, we need to divide it by 10.

Number of tens in 1 lakh = \\1,00,000\div 10\\

= 10,000

Number of tens in 50 thousand = \\50,000\div 10\\

= 5,000

Total number of tens = 10,000+5,000 = 15,000

Therefore, the number of tens in 1,50,000 is 15,000.

2. If a company has sold 1 lakh units of a product, and each unit costs 5 rupees, how much money did the company earn from the sales?

The company has sold 100,000 units.

To find out the total revenue earned, we need to multiply the number of units sold by the cost per unit.

1,00,000\times 5 = 5,00,000.

Therefore, the company earned 5 lakh rupees from the sales.

3. The company has sold 100,000 units. To find out the total revenue earned, we need to multiply the number of units sold by the cost per unit. 1,00,000\times 5 = 5,00,000. Therefore, the company earned 5 lakh rupees from the sales.

1 lakh answer sheets can be written as 1,00,000.

To find out the total time required to grade all the sheets, we need to multiply the number of sheets by the time taken per sheet, and then convert the result into hours.

\frac{1,00,000\times 2}{60} = \textup{3,333.33 hours}.

Therefore, the teacher will take approximately 3,333 hours to grade all the sheets.

4. A company has a target of producing 1 lakh units of a product every month. If the company produces 80% of the target in a month, how many units did it produce?

80% of 1 lakh can be calculated as \frac{80}{100} \times 1,00,000 = 80,000

Therefore, the company produced 80,000 units in the month.

5. If a farmer has to sow 1 lakh seeds in a field, and each seed requires 1 cm of space, what will be the area of the field required for sowing all the seeds?

To find out the area required, we need to multiply the number of seeds by the space required per seed.

\\1\: lakh \times 1\: cm = 1\: lakh\: cm^2\\

1,00,000 \times 1 = 1,00,000 \: cm^2
