Given the statement:
47,283
Round to the nearest 100,000
Solution:
In rounding numbers, it must be taken to note that if the number is greater than or equal to 5 then the succeeding number will be added by 1, hence if the number is less than 5, then the succeeding number will remain the same.
Since we are asked to round to hundred thousand, we must determine first where hundred thousand is. The number places are as follow in an ascending order: Ones/units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, hundred millions, and so on.
For decimals, the number places starts with; tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths, hundred thousandths, and so on.
We do not have a value of 100,000 therefore, our value will be 0.
= 47,283
= 0
Final answer:
= 0
