Scott divides some 4- digit numbers by 1000 and his answer is a decimal every time.  

From this Scott has concluded that if you divide a 4-digit number by 1000, then the answer will never be a whole number.

I think Scott is wrong and the reason is that if we try to divide those 4-digit numbers which are multiples of 1000, i.e. 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, ... etc. with 1000 then only you will get a whole number answer. (Answer)

Given

Scott divides some 4-digit numbers by 1000.

His answer is a decimal every time.

There are 9000, 4-digit numbers, and they start from the number 1000 and end on the number 9,999.

The following nine-digit number is integers not decimal by 1000.

1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000.
