Given:
2,042,822
Round to the nearest 1000.
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 the nearest thousands, we must determine first where thousands 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 the given, 2 is in the thousands place and before 2, we have the number 8 which is greater than 5, therefore 2 will be added by 1.
=2, 043,000
Final answer: 2,043,000
