Introduction to Thousands
When we have ten hundreds, it makes one thousand (1,000), which is the smallest 4-digit number.
Place Value of 4-Digit Numbers
In a 4-digit number, digits are arranged in Thousands (Th), Hundreds (H), Tens (T), and Ones (O) places.
Reading and Writing Number Names
Numbers up to 9,999 are read and written by combining the thousand, hundred, tens, and ones parts correctly.
Expanded Form
Writing a number by showing the value of each digit according to its place, such as 4,523 = 4000 + 500 + 20 + 3.
Comparing 4-Digit Numbers

Frequently Asked Questions
What comes after 999?
The number 1,000 comes after 999, which is the first four-digit number.
How do we find the place value of a digit in a 4-digit number?
Multiply the digit by its position value (1 for ones, 10 for tens, 100 for hundreds, and 1,000 for thousands).
How do I compare two 4-digit numbers like 4321 and 4512?
Start by comparing the thousands digit. Since both are 4, compare the hundreds digit. Here, 5 is greater than 3, so 4,512 is greater than 4,321.
