We will have to count the same number multiple times (i.e., if a number has two fours, it will have to be counted twice). That is what makes this problem sort of tricky. Because the range is pretty small, we can solve it by just thinking it through in small cases:
Case 1: For the numbers: 400-499
(note: any type you are counting 0 to 9, you can assume 10 numbers, because the 0 counts as well)
The total number of four's in the interval [400,499] = 100+10+10 = 120
Case 2: For the numbers: 500-599
The total number of four's in the interval [500,599] 10+10=20
There is not a third case. The only digit left is 600, and it obviously has no fours.
Therefore your answer is the sum of the two cases: 120 + 20 = 140
The numbers happen to be as follows (note: I've listed each number the number of times four appears, so for example 444 appears 3 times)
400, 401, 402, 403, 404, 404, 405, 406, 407, 408, 409, 410, 411, 412, 413, 414, 414, 415, 416, 417, 418, 419, 420, 421, 422, 423, 424, 424, 425, 426, 427, 428, 429, 430, 431, 432, 433, 434, 434, 435, 436, 437, 438, 439, 440, 440, 441, 441, 442, 442, 443, 443, 444, 444, 444, 445, 445, 446, 446, 447, 447, 448, 448, 449, 449, 450, 451, 452, 453, 454, 454, 455, 456, 457, 458, 459, 460, 461, 462, 463, 464, 464, 465, 466, 467, 468, 469, 470, 471, 472, 473, 474, 474, 475, 476, 477, 478, 479, 480, 481, 482, 483, 484, 484, 485, 486, 487, 488, 489, 490, 491, 492, 493, 494, 494, 495, 496, 497, 498, 499, 504, 514, 524, 534, 540, 541, 542, 543, 544, 544, 545, 546, 547, 548, 549, 554, 564, 574, 584, 594
You can also numerically count your answers with computer code. Here is a script that will give you the answer (it's written in PHP, but it should translate to other languages).
$count = 0;
for ($i=400; $i<601; $i++) foreach (str_split($i) as $digit) if ($digit==4) $count++;
echo $count;
Again the answer is 140.

6.6 million 400 thousand in numbers is 7,000,000
400,000,000
To write 400 billion in numbers, you would write it as 400,000,000,000. This is because each comma represents a grouping of three digits in the numerical system. So, 400 billion is written as 400 followed by nine zeros.
If you write all of the counting numbers from 200 to 400,you will write the digit ' 5 ' forty times.
120 times.

400,000,000
When writing the numbers from 1 to 400, the digit '1' appears in several places. It appears 1 time in the numbers 1 to 9, 10 times in the tens place (10-19), 100 times in the hundreds place (100-199), and 40 times in the ones place across the hundreds (1, 11, 21, ..., 391). In total, '1' is written 1 + 10 + 100 + 40 = 151 times.
To write 400 billion in numbers, you would write it as 400,000,000,000. This is because each comma represents a grouping of three digits in the numerical system. So, 400 billion is written as 400 followed by nine zeros.
To write 400 thousand in numbers, you would write 400,000. This is a standard way to represent large numbers using commas to separate the thousands, millions, billions, etc. In this case, 400 is followed by three zeros to indicate the thousands place.
400 *0.25 ------------- 100
To find 75 percent of 400, you can write the expression as ( 0.75 \times 400 ). Evaluating this expression, ( 0.75 \times 400 = 300 ). Therefore, 75 percent of 400 is 300.
