Definition
数以万计 is a four-character idiom meaning 'tens of thousands of' or 'countless'. It is used to emphasize a very large number, often in formal or written contexts. Unlike 成千上万, which can be used more casually, 数以万计 carries a stronger sense of precise magnitude and is common in news, reports, and statistics.
