We have learned one, two and three digits numbers.
Now, we will study four digit numbers.
Greatest 1-digit number + 1 = Smallest 2-digit number
i.e., 9 + 1 = 10
Greatest 2-digit number + 1 = Smallest 3-digit number
i.e., 99 +1 = 100
Greatest 3-digit number + 1 = Smallest 4-digit number
i.e., 999 + 1= 1000
We add 1 to 999 to get the smallest four digit number. eg. 999 + 1 = 1000.
1000 is read as one thousand.
In the place value chart, it is represented as

What are Four Digit Numbers?
A number is called a four digit number if it lies between the smallest 4-digit number i.e., 1000 and largest 4-digit number i.e., 9999.
Therefore, the all numbers from 1000 to 9999 are four digit numbers.
We may divide 4-digit numbers in 9 groups.
(i) 1000 to 1999 (one thousand to one thousand nine hundred ninety nine)
(ii) 2000 to 2999 (two thousand to two thousand nine hundred ninety nine)
(iii) 3000 to 3999 (three thousand to three thousand nine hundred ninety nine)
(iv) 4000 to 4999 (four thousand to four thousand nine hundred ninety nine)
(v) 5000 to 5999 (five thousand to five thousand nine hundred ninety nine)
(vi) 6000 to 6999 (six thousand to six thousand nine hundred ninety nine)
(vii) 7000 to 7999 (seven thousand to seven thousand nine hundred ninety nine)
(viii) 8000 to 8999 (eight thousand to eight thousand nine hundred ninety nine)
(ix) 9000 to 9999 (nine thousand to nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine)
Note: Four digit numbers begin with 1000.
Four Digits Numbers in Thousands:
If all the numbers of one digit, then two digits and then three digits are placed step by step to the right of 1 Thousand according to their place values, the numbers from 1001 to 1999 are formed.
On adding 1 to 1000, we get 1000 + 1 = 1001 ← One thousand one
On adding 1 to 1001, we get 1001 + 1 = 1002 ← One thousand two and so on
On adding 1 to 9998, we get 9998 + 1 = 9999 ← Nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine
1000, 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1008, 1009,

Similarly, 2000, …………….., 2199, ………………….., 2299, ……………………,
2799, ……………………, 2899, ………………….., 2999 are formed.
Thus, we reach upto 3999, ……………….., 4999, …………………, 5999,
…………………, 6999, …………………, 7999, …………………, 8999, ………………….., 9999.
9999 is the greatest 4-digit number.

4-Digit Numbers on Abacus:
Shown below are some four digit numbers on the abacus:
Mike has 999 lollipops. He has made 9 packets of 100 lollipops
in each. He is now left with 99 lollipops. How many more lollipops does Mike
need to make another packet of 100 lollipops?
99 + 1 = 100
By having 1 more lollipop, Mike can make another packet of
100 lollipops.
Mike has now 10 packets of 100 lollipops in each.
|
10 hundreds = 1 thousand = 1000 Thus, Mike has 1000 lollipops in all. 1000 is a 4-digit number and is read as ‘one thousand’. |
1 packet = 100 lollipops 2 packets = 100 + 100 = 200 lollipops 3 packets = 200 + 100 = 300 lollipops 4 packets = 300 + 100 = 400 lollipops 5 packets = 400 + 100 = 500 lollipops 6 packets = 500 + 100 = 600 lollipops 7 packets = 600 + 100 = 700 lollipops 8 packets = 700 + 100 = 800 lollipops 9 packets = 800 + 100 = 900 lollipops |
1000 is the smallest 4-digit number. 9999 is the largest 4-digit number.
|
Digit One-digit Two-digit Three-digit Four-digit |
Largest Number 9 99 999 9999 |
Smallest Number 0 10 100 1000 |
9 + 1 = 10
99 + 1 = 100
999 + 1 = 1000
Numbers Beyond 999:
We know that,
The greatest 3-digit number is 999.
If we add 1 to 999, we get 1000.
1000 is the smallest 4-digit number, we read it as one hundred.
Counting by Thousands:
The red digit tells us how many thousands.

1000 – _______ 2000 – _______ 3000 – _______ |
4000 – _______ 5000 – _______ 6000 – _______ |
7000 – _______ 8000 – _______ 9000 – _______ |
Let us now learn some 4-digit number names.
Note: 1. The largest 4-digit number is 9999.
2. The smallest 4-digit number is 1000.

Place value in 4-digits numbers:
A place value depends upon the position of a digit in a
given number.
A place value keeps increasing, when a number moves from
right to left.
1 one, place value = 1 1 or 1
8 tens, place value = 8 10 or 80
6 hundreds, place value = 6 100 or 600
3 thousands, place value = 4 1000 or 4000
3746 = 3 thousands + 7 hundreds + 4 tens + 6 ones
= 3000 + 700
+ 40 + 6
