Round off 13415978 to the nearest 100000
13,400,000
To round off a number to the nearest hundred thousand, you need to identify the specific digit in the hundred thousand place. In this case, the digit in the hundred thousand place is "4".
Now, look at the digit to the right of the hundred thousand place, which is the ten thousand place. If this digit is 5 or greater, you need to round up the hundred thousand digit. If the digit is less than 5, you keep the hundred thousand digit as it is.
In our case, the digit in the ten thousand place is "1" which is less than 5. So, we keep the hundred thousand digit as it is. Therefore, rounding off 13415978 to the nearest hundred thousand gives us 10000000.
To round off 13415978 to the nearest 100000, follow these steps:
Step 1: Identify the place value you want to round to. In this case, we want to round to the nearest 100000.
Step 2: Look at the digit to the right of the desired place value. In this case, the digit to the right of the 100000 place is 1.
Step 3: If the digit is less than 5, round down (do nothing). If the digit is 5 or greater, round up (increase the desired place value by 1).
Step 4: In this case, the digit 1 is less than 5, so we round down.
Step 5: Replace all the digits to the right of the desired place value with zeros.
Following these steps, rounding off 13415978 to the nearest 100000 would give us the rounded number 13400000.
