                                900                     +              90             +                9 = 999

            Thousands


            If we add one more to 999, it gives us the smallest four digit number.

            Let’s add 1 to 999.
                                                                                              one more























                                                                                                   This is a

                                                        =                                     block of 1000.






            10 hundreds make 1 thousand.


            999 + 1 = 1000

                                     Th      H      T     O

                                      1      0      0     0



            Therefore, 1000 is the smallest four digit number.
