After crore comes arba (1 arba = 100 crore = 1 billion), then kharba (100 arba = 100 billion), neel, padma and shankha.
Why is the digit grouping different (1,23,456 vs 123,456)?+
The Nepali/South-Asian system groups the first three digits, then in twos (1,23,456), reflecting the lakh–crore scale, while the international system groups in threes (123,456). The tool shows both.
