10,000 on an abacus

To show 10000 on a soroban, read the rods from left to right: the millions column is clear with no active beads; the hundred-thousands column is set to zero; the ten-thousands column marks 1 with no upper-bead contact and 1 lower bead raised; the thousands column remains empty on this column; the hundreds column is clear with no active beads; the tens column is set to zero; the ones column has no beads moved to the beam.

1. Step 1. Start from a cleared soroban with every upper bead away from the beam and every lower bead resting at the bottom.
2. Step 2. Adjust the millions column to 0. the millions column is clear with no active beads.
3. Step 3. Configure the hundred-thousands rod for 0. That means the hundred-thousands column is set to zero.
4. Step 4. Configure the ten-thousands rod for 1. That means the ten-thousands column marks 1 with no upper-bead contact and 1 lower bead raised.
5. Step 5. Set the thousands column for 0. Here, the thousands column remains empty on this column.
6. Step 6. Adjust the hundreds column to 0. the hundreds column is clear with no active beads.
7. Step 7. Configure the tens rod for 0. That means the tens column is set to zero.
8. Step 8. On the ones column, show 0. In practice, the ones column has no beads moved to the beam.
9. Step 9. Once every column is set, the soroban should read 10000 across the full frame.
