ten thousand

Hundred times hundred

Ten thousand is the number 10,000—one followed by four zeros, or a hundred hundreds.

The phrase often signals a large but vague quantity: ten thousand reasons to stay, if I've told you once, I've told you ten thousand times.

In East Asian contexts, ten thousand (万/萬) serves as a basic counting unit the way thousand does in English.
