To find: Number of 4 digit numbers when a digit may be repeated any number of times

The first place has possibilities of any of 9 digits.

(0 not included because 0 in starting would make the number a 3 digit number.)

The second place has possibilities of any of 10 digits.

The third place has possibilities of any of 10 digits.

The fourth place has possibilities of any of 10 digits.

Since repetition is allowed.

So there are 9 × 10 × 10 × 10=9000 4-digit numbers when a digit may be repeated any number of times.
