To determine how many tens, hundreds, or thousands are in a number, you can break the number down based on its place values. For example, in the number 4,582, the digit '8' represents 80 (or 8 tens), '5' represents 500 (or 5 hundreds), and '4' represents 4,000 (or 4 thousands). You can identify each digit's value by looking at its position: the far-right digit is the units (ones), the next is the tens, followed by hundreds, and then thousands. Simply count the value of each digit based on its position to find out how many tens, hundreds, or thousands are present.
It is simply an unspecified number of hundreds of thousands!
Hundreds of thousands of people! Answer hundreds and thousands of people Answer As you can see, both alternatives are used, and probably they are equally correct. I would tend to use "of". You may have heard people say "tens of thousands", and this is correct usage as well. The idea is that "tens" and "hundreds" are ways to give a rough idea of scale. I could say "There are thousands of people in New York City." "Thousands" is not entirely wrong; there are in fact many, many thousands of people there (a thousand thousands for each million). But thousands isn't the best estimate of magnitude. If I say "thousands", I mean a few thousand, maybe even a few more than 10. But if I say "tens of thousands", I mean, perhaps, 30, 40, 50, 60 thousand. Thousands, around the order of magnitude "10". Hundreds and thousands, to my ear, does not convey the same general magnitude of size. Of course, there is nothing even remotely accurate about these estimates, but they help us grasp what the speaker is attempting to convey. Hundreds and thousands means multiples of hundreds (100s) and/or thousands (1000s). But hundreds of thousands (100000s) means multiples of a much bigger number indeed. So both are correct expressions but they convey the idea of quite different sizes of number.
If the digit in the thousands place is increased by 1, the value of the number is increased by 1,000.
Well, one figure would be a maximum of $9. Nine dollars."Figure" refers to the place value columns. Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands. So, a six-figure income is in the hundred-thousands.

Wow. I have no idea, and I honestly don't think anyone knows. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps? I don't know.
It varied from hundreds to thousands
it varies from hundreds to thousands
It depends on the ride, but "hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions" is in the right ballpark.
