4 (four) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 3 and preceding 5. It is a square number, the smallest semiprime and composite number, and is considered unlucky in many East Asian cultures.

The Shunga would add a horizontal line on top of the digit, and the Kshatrapa and Pallava evolved the digit to a point where the speed of writing was a secondary concern. The Arabs' 4 still had the early concept of the cross, but for the sake of efficiency, was made in one stroke by connecting the "western" end to the "northern" end; the "eastern" end was finished off with a curve.

Urdu Numerals
Like many Indo-Aryan languages, Hindustani ( Hindi and Urdu) has a decimal numeral system that is contracted to the extent that nearly every number 1–99 is irregular, and needs to be memorized as a separate numeral. Numbers from 100 up are more regular. There are numerals for 100, ''sau''; 1,000, ''hazār''; and successive multiples by 100 of 1000: '' lākh (lakh)'' 100,000 (105), '' karoṛ'' (crore) 1,00,00,000 (107), ''arab'' 1,00,00,00,000 (109, billion), ''kharab'' 1,00,00,00,00,000 (1011), ''nīl'' 1,00,00,00,00,00,000 (1013), ''padma'' 1,00,00,00,00,00,00,000 (1015, quadrillion).
