10,000 (ten thousand) is the natural number following 9,999 and preceding 10,001.

Name

See also: Orders of magnitude (numbers).

Many languages have a specific word for this number: in Ancient Greek it is Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: μύριοι (the etymological root of the word myriad in English), in Aramaic Official Aramaic (700-300 BCE);; Imperial Aramaic (700-300 BCE);: ܪܒܘܬܐ, in Hebrew Hebrew: רבבה [{{transliteration|he|revava}}], in Chinese Chinese: 萬/万 (Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien bān), in Japanese [{{transliteration|ja|man}}], in Khmer Central Khmer: ម៉ឺន [{{transliteration|km|meun}}], in Korean Korean: 만/萬 [{{transliteration|ko|man}}], in Russian Russian: тьма [{{transliteration|ru|t'ma}}], in Vietnamese Vietnamese: vạn, in Sanskrit अयुत [''ayuta''], in Thai Thai: หมื่น [{{transliteration|th|meun}}], in Malayalam Malayalam: പതിനായിരം [{{transliteration|ml|patinayiram}}], and in Malagasy alina.^[1] In many of these languages, it often denotes a very large but indefinite number.^[2]

The classical Greeks used letters of the Greek alphabet to represent Greek numerals: they used a capital letter mu (Μ) to represent ten thousand. This Greek root was used in early versions of the metric system in the form of the decimal prefix myria-.^[3]

Depending on the country, the number ten thousand is usually written as 10,000 (including in the UK and US), 10.000, or 10 000.^[4]

In mathematics

In scientific notation it is written as 10⁴ or 1 E+4 (equivalently 1 E4) in E notation.

It is the square of 100 and the square root of 100,000,000.

The value of a myriad to the power of itself, 10000¹⁰⁰⁰⁰ = 10⁴⁰⁰⁰⁰.

It has a total of 25 divisors, whose geometric mean is a whole number, 100 (the number of primes below this value is 25).

It has a reduced totient of 500, and a totient of 4,000, with a total of 16 integers having a totient value of 10,000.

There are a total of 1,229 prime numbers less than ten thousand, a count that is itself prime.^[5] A myriagon is a polygon with ten thousand edges and a total of 25 dihedral symmetry groups when including the myriagon itself, alongside 25 cyclic groups as subgroups.^[6]
