🔁 Billion Dollars to Crore Rupees Converter
💡 Quick Definition: What Is a Crore?
In the Indian numbering system:
1 crore = 1,00,00,000 = 10,000,000 (ten million)
So if you have:
- 1 crore = 10 million
- 10 crore = 100 million
- 100 crore = 1 billion
But this is in rupees, not dollars.
🌎 Conversion Formula to Dollars
To convert crores to billion dollars, we do two steps:
- Convert crores → rupees
- Convert rupees → USD
The formulas:
1 crore rupees = 10,000,000 rupees
Value in USD = (Crores × 10,000,000) ÷ Exchange Rate
Value in Billion USD = USD ÷ 1,000,000,000
