[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the least number possible with 5 in the thousands place, we need to keep the other digits as small as possible.

Since the thousands place is the first digit from the left, the other digits are in the hundreds, tens, and ones place. To make them as small as possible, we can use zeros.

Therefore, the least number possible with 5 in the thousands place is 5000.
