1,400,000
NO!
Look at the 100 thousand spot, it's a '4'. Now look at the number to the right of it, it's a '7'
Remember, any number 5 and above, you round up.
So the correct answer would be 1,500,000
1,400,000
Yes, the answer is 1,400,000. To round a number to the nearest hundred thousand, you need to look at the digit in the hundred thousand place and determine whether it should be rounded up or down. In this case, the digit in the hundred thousand place is 1.
Since the digit 1 is less than 5, we can round down. To do this, we change all the digits to the right of the hundred thousand place to zeros. Therefore, 1,471,932 rounded to the nearest hundred thousand would be 1,400,000.
