About these units
Dozen (doz)
Twelve items. Eggs, rolls and many goods are still sold by the dozen.
Dozen entered English from Old French douzaine, a group of twelve, built from douze, which comes from Latin duodecim, plus a suffix that makes a collective. Twelve earned its popularity partly by dividing evenly: it splits into halves, thirds, quarters, and sixths, which helps when sharing goods. One suggestion is that the roughly dozen lunar months in a solar year made twelve one of the earliest groupings.
Even in a decimal age, dozens persist in commerce, often for foods such as eggs. Larger multiples extend the system by twelves: a gross is 12 dozen, or 144, and a great gross is 12 gross, or 1,728. The idiom six of one, half a dozen of the other uses the unit to say two options come to the same thing. Twelve also gave English the baker's dozen, which adds one more.
1 dozen = 12 pieces (exactly).

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).
