Round 529 to nearest hundred
To round a number to the nearest hundred, you need to look at the tens digit.
In this case, the tens digit of 529 is 2.
If the tens digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, you would round down. To round down, keep the hundreds digit the same and change all the digits to the right (tens and units digits) to 0. So, if the tens digit is between 0 and 4 inclusive, the number will be rounded down to the previous hundred.
However, if the tens digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, you would round up. To round up, add 1 to the hundreds digit and change all the digits to the right to 0. So, if the tens digit is between 5 and 9 inclusive, the number will be rounded up to the next hundred.
In our case, the tens digit is 2. Since it is less than 5, we round down. To round down 529 to the nearest hundred, we change the tens and units digits to 0 and keep the hundreds digit the same. Therefore, rounding 529 down to the nearest hundred gives us 500.
