The length of a number isn't really a well defined concept (to me at
least), For example is 1236548 a number of length 7 (because it has 7
decimal digits, of length 6 because in hex it requires 6 digits or 3
because its binary representation has 3 bytes? If what you really want
is a range of numbers then validates_numericality_of has options like
greater_than and greater_than
