Question

The distance of the moon from the earth is 3,84,014 km. Insert commas suitably and write the distance according to Indian and International Systems of Numeration.

Answer 1

Indian system of numeration:

With the Indian system, when writing a million, a comma comes after the first three digits and then after 2 digits from thenceforth.

For instance, a million would be:

= 10,00,000

Distance to moon in Indian numeration = 3,84,014 km

International System of Numeration:

Here a comma separates a maximum of 3 digits. A million here would be:

= 1,000,000

Distance to moon is therefore:

= 384,014 km
