Given the value:
112,433
Round to the nearest thousands.
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 ten thousands, 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.
The value of 1 is located in the ten thousands place and before 1 we have 2 which is less than 5 therefore we will retain 1 as it is, and equate the lower values to 0.
= 110,000
Final answer:
= 110,000
