No.

4 kg has units which given meaning to the 4 - in this case kg which gives the size and type of the units; the 4 gives how many of the units there are. In this case, it represents a unit of mass and there are 4 of them.

4 by itself has no units and is just a number. It can be used to represent many things: apples, acres, metres, etc. The units given will tell you what things it represents: 4 apples means the 4 represents some apples. 4 acres means the 4 represents some area. 4 metres means the 4 represents some length - each of these things are different.
