Wow What a complete mess that numbering system is.
Under the Indian system:
1,00,000 = One hundred thousand
BUT ALSO
1,00,000 = Ten million
AND ALSO
1,00,000 = One trillion
So the same number can mean multiple things!?
That system is kinda the antithesis of 'mathematical' tbh.

So calculators in India need to have all the individual sanskrit buttons?
