round 222, 823 to the nearest ten thousand
Well remember it goes
3 is in the ones spot
2 is in the tens spot
then hundreds
then thousands
then ten thousands
so our number is the middle 2 of 222.
When rounding if the next number is 5 or bigger round up.
So say our number is 86 and we want to round to the nearest ten. The 8 is in the tens spot so we look at the 6, and since it is bigger then 5 we round up to 90
Our 2 is followed by a 2 in 222,823 so if the third two from the left was 5 or bigger we would round up to 230,000 but it is not so we stay at 220,000 : )
Round of 6 823 056 to the nearest 5
To round a number to the nearest ten thousand, you'll want to look at the digit in the ten thousand place and the digit to the right of it.
In the given number, 222,823, the digit in the ten thousand place is 2. The digit to the right of it is 2.
To round to the nearest ten thousand, we can follow these steps:
1. If the digit to the right of the ten thousand place is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, you keep the ten thousand place digit unchanged and replace all digits to the right with zeros. In this case, with a 2 in the hundred place, we leave the ten thousand place digit as 2 and replace the hundreds, tens, and ones places with zeros, resulting in 220,000.
2. If the digit to the right of the ten thousand place is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, you increase the ten thousand place digit by 1 and replace all digits to the right with zeros. In this case, with an 8 in the hundred place, we increase the ten thousand place digit to 3 and replace all digits to the right with zeros, resulting in 230,000.
Therefore, when rounding 222,823 to the nearest ten thousand, we get 230,000.
