The world of numbers is complex but interesting. Not only do numbers help to measure, compare, quantify, add, subtract, and find solutions to all kinds of problems, but they also hone our logical skills. But as much as learning numbers is important, it is also essential to learn numbers in words in English. In this article, we will discuss how to say and write 300000 in words.
As per the International System of Numerals, 300000 in words is written as three hundred thousand. In the Indian System of Numerals, it is written as three lakhs.
For instance, if you have 300000 in your bank account, you can write, “I have three hundred thousand in my account.” Or, you can also write the amount in words in Indian Rupees, “I have three lakh rupees in my account.”
In the International System of Numerals, three hundred thousand is written as 300,000. In the Indian System of Numerals, 3 lakh is written as 3, 00,000. Note that 300000 is a cardinal number as it denotes a specific quantity.
You can write 300000 with the help of a place value chart. Let us tell you how you can write 300000 or other numbers in words in English with the help of a place value chart.
| Hundred Thousands | Ten Thousands | Thousand | Hundreds | Tens | Ones |
| 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Let us break down the chart by determining the digits in each place:
Digit/One’s place: 0
Ten’s place: 0
Hundred’s place: 0
Thousand’s place: 0
Ten Thousand’s place: 0
Hundred Thousand’s place: 3
Read the numbers from right to left with their place value and then convert the numerals into words. Hence, 300000 in words is written as three hundred thousand.
| Lakhs | Ten Thousands | Thousand | Hundreds | Tens | Ones |
| 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Now, according to the Indian System of Numerals:
Digit/One’s place: 0
Ten’s place: 0
Hundred’s place: 0
Thousand’s place: 0
Ten Thousand’s place: 0
Lakh’s place: 3
300000 in words, in the Indian System of Numerals, is written as three lakhs.
Let us take another example.
Question: Write the value of 300000 + 200000 in words.
Solution: 300000 + 200000 = 500000
Now, let us find the place of each number in the place value chart.
| Hundred Thousand | Ten Thousands | Thousand | Hundreds | Tens | Ones |
| 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The digits on each place are:
Digit/One’s place: 0
Ten’s place: 0
Hundred’s place: 0
Thousand’s place: 0
Ten Thousand’s place: 0
Hundred Thousand’s place: 5
So, 500000 in words is five hundred thousand or five lakhs.
