Rounding numbers to the nearest thousand means finding the closest multiple of 1,000. To do this, you will need to look at the digit in the thousands place of the number you want to round. Here is a step-by-step explanation of how to round to the nearest thousand:
Step 1: Identify the digit in the thousands place.
Look at the digit in the thousands place of the number you want to round. The thousands place is the digit right before the comma in a whole number and represents the value of 1,000.
Step 2: Look at the digit to the right of the thousands place.
Check the digit immediately to the right of the thousands place. If this digit is 5 or greater, you will need to round up. If the digit is less than 5, you will round down.
Step 3: Round down or up.
If the digit to the right of the thousands place is less than 5, you will round down. This means the digit in the thousands place and all digits to the right of it become zeros. For example, if you have the number 3,668, rounding down to the nearest thousand would give you 3,000.
If the digit to the right of the thousands place is 5 or higher, you will round up. This means you increase the digit in the thousands place by one and change all the digits to its right to zeros. For example, if you have the number 7,893, rounding up to the nearest thousand would give you 8,000.
Step 4: Finalize the rounded answer.
After rounding, check if any digits to the left of the thousands place need to be carried over. If necessary, adjust the digits to ensure the correct rounded value.
