Give the least number that can be rounded to the nearest ten thousands
9,500
To find the least number that can be rounded to the nearest ten thousands, you need to understand rounding.
When rounding to the nearest ten thousands, you look at the digit immediately to the right of the ten thousands place. If this digit is 5 or greater, you round up by adding 1 to the ten thousands place. If the digit is less than 5, you round down by keeping the ten thousands place as it is.
In our case, we want to find the smallest number that can be rounded to the nearest ten thousands. This means we need to look for the smallest number that has a 5 or greater in the digit to the right of the ten thousands place.
The digit to the right of the ten thousands place is the thousands place. Therefore, the smallest number that can be rounded to the nearest ten thousands is any number that has a thousands place digit of 5 or greater and all other digits to the right are 0.
For example:
- 10,000 is the least number that can be rounded to the nearest ten thousands since the thousands place digit is 0.
- 20,000 can also be rounded to the nearest ten thousands as the thousands place digit is 0.
So, any number between 10,000 and 19,999 can be rounded to the nearest ten thousands and will have 10,000 as the least number that satisfies the condition.
