About these units
Small Gross (sm gr)
Ten dozen, 120 items, also called the long hundred. A medieval English counting unit for goods.
The small gross is 120, ten dozen, and it has more names than uses: great hundred, long hundred, and small gross all point to it. Behind it lies a habit of mixing twelves and tens. In Iceland and Scandinavia a hundred made of ten twelves had its own name, tolfrátt hundrað, to tell it apart from an ordinary hundred of ten tens. In Old Norse counting, the same system made a thousand equal to 1,200.
In England the long hundred was common in trade, and a proverb contrasted five score, meaning 100, for men, money, or pins with six score, meaning 120, for other goods. Nails were often sold by it. Around 1300 the Assize of Weights and Measures recorded a hundred kippers as 120 fish and a hundred ells of linen as 120 ells. The usage faded as Arabic numerals, which assume base 10, spread from the 14th century. Against familiar units, 120 is 10 dozen and five sixths of a gross.
1 small gross = 120 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).
