No, a 4-digit number is not always less than a 5-digit number. The value of a number is determined by the digits it contains, not the number of digits. For example, the 4-digit number 9999 is greater than the 5-digit number 1000. It is important to consider the actual numerical value when comparing numbers, not just the number of digits.
