    1000, 2000, 3000, ... etc are the 4-digit numbers which when divided by 1000, give whole number answer.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    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)
