ten-thousandth

One in ten-thousand

The ten-thousandth position in a sequence, or one of ten thousand equal parts.

As an ordinal, it marks extreme remoteness in a series: Even if there's a ten-thousandth chance, we have to try.

As a fraction, it represents 0.0001 or one basis point in finance: The measurement was accurate to a ten-thousandth of an inch.
