Round off 39482 to the nearest 1000
40,000
To round off a number to the nearest 1000, we need to determine which multiple of 1000 the number is closest to. In this case, we have the number 39482.
The digit in the thousands place is 3, so we need to look at the next digit to the right, which is the hundreds place.
If the digit in the hundreds place is less than 5, we would round down to the nearest 1000. If it's 5 or greater, we would round up to the nearest 1000.
In this case, the digit in the hundreds place is 9, which is greater than 5. Therefore, we round up.
To round up to the nearest 1000, we increase the digit in the thousands place by 1 and set all the digits to the right of it to zero.
So rounding off 39482 to the nearest 1000 gives us 40000.
To round off 39482 to the nearest 1000, follow these steps:
Step 1: Identify the thousandth place. In this case, the thousandth place is the digit in the middle, which is 4.
Step 2: Check the number to the right of the thousandth place. If it is 5 or greater, round the thousandth place up by adding 1. If it is less than 5, leave the thousandth place as it is.
Step 3: The number to the right of the thousandth place is 8, which is greater than 5. So, we need to round the thousandth place up by adding 1.
Step 4: Replace the digits to the right of the thousandth place with zeros.
Following these steps, rounding off 39482 to the nearest 1000 gives us 40000.
