round this number to the nearest 10,000 1,995,298

Given:

1,995,298

Round to the nearest 10,000

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 ten thousand, we must determine first where ten 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.

In the given number, the digit in ten thousands place is 9, and before 9 we have 5, which is means that we will add 1, to 9.

= 2,000,000

Since we've added 1 to 9, the answer will be 10, which means the succeeding number will be added by 1 again. The succeeding number is 9 again, therefore 1 will be added unto the final number.

Final answer: 2,000,000
