    ForMINg AND rEADINg 4-DIgIt NUMbErS

                We use groups, like ones, tens, hundreds and thousands to form a 4-digit number. For

                reading a 4-digit number, we start from the digit in the thousands (Th) place, then the
                digit in the hundreds (H) place and the remaining tens (T) and ones (O) places together.

                Let us understand this with some examples.

                                                                                 Th H      T O

                  1000          +      200        +    40      +     2     =      1    2   4    2

                1242 is read as one thousand two hundred forty-two.

                                                                                Th H      T O

                        2000               +      500          +    8      =     2   5 0      8

                2508 is read as two thousand five hundred eight.

                                                                                            Th H      T O

                             3000                    +      400         +  10  +  6  =       3   4    1   6

                3416 is read as three thousand four hundred sixteen.

                Example.  How will you read the following 4-digit numbers?
                             a.  3426                                      b.  2703

                Solution.  a.  Th H         T O                            b.  Th H      T O

                                   3   4    2   6                               2    7   0    3

                                                   twenty-six                                   three

                                                  four hundred                                  seven hundred

                                                  three thousand                                two thousand
                             3426 is read as three thousand                    2703 is read as two thousand
                             four hundred twenty-six.                          seven hundred three.
