Round to the nearest thousand the nearest hundred and the nearest ten 2,565
anything 5 or greater rounds up
There has been a move....from mathematicians...to remove the bias in rounding. It goes like this. If it ends in greater than 5, round up, less than 5, round down. If it ends if five "round" to the nearest even. Thus
number/ rounded
34.3/34
34.5/34
34.7/37
35.5/36
This better way of rounding is not popular, but I have seen some statistical databases which use it. It in fact, is a "fairer" way of estimating values.
To round a number to the nearest thousand, you look at the digit to the right of the thousands place. If that digit is 5 or greater, you round up, but if it is less than 5, you round down. In the case of 2,565, the digit to the right of the thousands place is 5, so you round up.
To round to the nearest thousand, you increase the thousands place by 1 and replace all digits to the right of the thousands place with zeros. In this case, 2,565 rounded to the nearest thousand would be 3,000.
To round a number to the nearest hundred, you can follow a similar process. Look at the digit to the right of the hundreds place. If it is 5 or greater, round up; if it is less than 5, round down. However, since there are no digits to the right of the hundreds place in 2,565, there is no rounding needed in this case.
To round a number to the nearest ten, you look at the digit in the tens place. If it is 5 or greater, round up; if it is less than 5, round down. In the case of 2,565, the tens digit is 6, which is greater than 5. Therefore, rounding to the nearest ten gives us 2,570.
In summary, 2,565 rounded to the nearest thousand is 3,000, rounded to the nearest hundred is 2,600, and rounded to the nearest ten is 2,570.
