Given:
674,392
Round to the nearest hundred.
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 , we must determine first where hundred 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.
In our given, the digit in the hundreds place is 3, and before 3 we have 9 which is greater than 5, therefore we will add 1 to 3.
= 674,400
Final answer:
= 674,400
