    900

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We assume that your 4-digit number must be in the range 1000 to 9999. Clearly, any number ending in zero will meet your requirement:

    1000/100 = 10

    3890/389 = 10

    However, the requirement cannot be met when the 1s digit is other than zero.

    __

    For some 3-digit number N and some 1s digit x, the 4-digit number will be

    4-digit number: 10N+x

    Dividing this by N will give ...

    (10N+x) / N = 10 remainder x

    N will only be a factor of 10N+x when x=0.

    So, there are 900 4-digit numbers that meet your requirement. They range from 1000 to 9990.
