Question

What is 403,892 rounded to the nearest thousand?

Answer 1

404,000

Explanation:

When rounding you look for the middle, like 5 rounded to the nearest 10s would be 10 as you always round up if you’re in the middle. However, 4 rounded by 10s would be 0. Therefore 892 is greater than 500, which is the middle of a thousand, so you round 3,892 to 4,000. The rest stays the same, like if you had 3,094,765 rounded by ten-thousands than the answer would be 3,100,000. The reason you add the 100,000 is because of the 90,000.
