What is...
4,078 rounded to the nearest thousand?
2,093 rounded to the nearest thousand?
I did the last two problems for you. Now it's your turn.
I'll be glad to check your answers.
To round a number to the nearest thousand, you need to look at the digit in the hundreds place and higher.
Let's start with 4,078. The digit in the hundreds place is 0. Since it is less than 5, we don't need to round up. To round to the nearest thousand, we keep the digit in the thousands place as it is (which is 4), and change all the digits to the right of it to zeros. Therefore, 4,078 rounded to the nearest thousand is 4,000.
Now let's move on to 2,093. The digit in the hundreds place is also 0. Again, since it is less than 5, we don't need to round up. Rounding to the nearest thousand, we keep the digit in the thousands place as it is (which is 2), and change all the digits to the right of it to zeros. Therefore, 2,093 rounded to the nearest thousand is 2,000.
