About these units
Crore (crore)
Ten million (10⁷), or one hundred lakh. Written 1,00,00,000 in the Indian numbering system.
Sanskrit had separate words for most powers of ten from 100 up to 10 to the 19th. The crore comes from one of them: the Prakrit kroḍi, which derives from the Sanskrit koṭi, and in Hindi and Urdu it is karoṛ. In Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam the cognate is kōṭi. Outside South Asia, koṭi travelled mostly through Buddhist texts, and in Indonesian and Malay keti means 100,000, a lakh, instead of ten million.
A crore is 100 lakh, or 10,000,000, and is written 1,00,00,000 in Indian grouping. It is the natural unit for large sums of money in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, so 150,000,000 rupees is 15 crore rupees. For amounts in the trillions, the system's next named units, arab and kharab, are rarely used, so people say lakh crore for 10 to the 12th. Nepal and Sri Lanka both used the system in the past but have moved to international numbering in recent years.
1 crore = 10,000,000 pieces (exactly).

Myriad (myriad)
Ten thousand. The word comes from Greek; in Chinese, Japanese and Korean numbers are grouped in myriads (萬/万) rather than thousands.
Greek arithmetic had a single word for ten thousand, murias, which gave English the word myriad. Its own origin is uncertain. Greek numerals wrote it with a capital mu, and Archimedes used the myriad myriad, or one hundred million, as the base of the large-number scheme in his Sand Reckoner.
English speakers now use myriad mostly to mean a vast, unspecified number, and the exact 10,000 survives mainly in translations from Greek, Latin or Chinese. Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese still count in groups of 10,000, so that one million is expressed as one hundred wan. Other languages have a dedicated word as well, including Sanskrit ayuta, Old Turkic tumen and Hebrew revava. The prefix myria- stood for 10,000 in the original French metric system of 1795 but fell out of use, and a myriad is also a 100 kilometer grid square in British and US military mapping.
1 myriad = 10,000 pieces (exactly).
