This chart shows the expanded form, like unfolding the number. For 850000, it’s:
8 lakhs + 5 ten thousands + 0 thousands + 0 hundreds + 0 tens + 0 ones.
In numbers, that’s:
8 × 100000 + 5 × 10000 + 0 × 1000 + 0 × 100 + 0 × 10 + 0 × 1
= 800000 + 50000 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 850000.
To write it in words:
“Eight Hundred Thousand” for the 800000,
“Fifty Thousand” for the 50000,
Skip the zeros since they add nothing.
Combine the thousands: 800 + 50 = 850, so Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand.
