Is the product of a 4-digit number and a 1-digit number always a 5-digit number Explain?

Well, honey, let me break it down for you. When you multiply a 4-digit number (ranging from 1000 to 9999) by a 1-digit number (ranging from 0 to 9), the result can be a 3-digit number (ranging from 0 to 8991). So no, the product of a 4-digit number and a 1-digit number is not always a 5-digit number. Math doesn't discriminate, darling.
