No, rounding 423,607,492 to the nearest million would actually be 424,000,000. When rounding to the nearest million, you look at the digit in the millions place (the digit to the left of the comma). If it is 5 or greater, you round up. In this case, the digit is 6, so you would round up to 424 million.
Therefore, the rounded value of 423,607,492 to the nearest million is 424,000,000.
To round 423,607,492 to the nearest million, you need to consider the digits after the millions place. In this case, the digits after the millions place are 607,492.
To round to the nearest million, you need to determine if the hundreds of thousands place (the first digit after the millions place) is 5 or greater. If it is, you round up by increasing the millions place by 1. If it is less than 5, you round down by keeping the millions place as is.
In this case, the hundreds of thousands place is 6, which is greater than 5. Therefore, you need to round up by increasing the millions place by 1. The rounded value to the nearest million would be 424,000,000.
So, the answer is indeed 424,000,000.
Well done!
