My answer.

No!

Look at 10 thousand spot, it's a '9'. Now look the the number to the right of it, it's a '8'

Remember, any number 5 and above you round up.

Since 9 round up is 10, it becomes 600,000

To round 598,587 to the nearest ten thousand, you need to determine which ten thousand it is closer to.

Step 1: Identify the place value of the ten thousand. In this case, it is the fourth digit from the right.

Step 2: Look at the digit to the right of the ten thousand place. In this case, it is 8.

Step 3: If the digit to the right of the ten thousand place is 5 or greater, then you round up. If it is less than 5, you round down.

In our case, 8 is greater than 5, so we round up.

Step 4: Change all the digits to the right of the ten thousand place to zero.

By rounding 598,587 to the nearest ten thousand, you get 600,000, not 599,000.

Therefore, the correct answer is 600,000.
