round n359,641 to the nearst 1,000
to round a number to the nearest thousands:
first find the digit in the thousands place, then look at the number to the right of the thousands place,, if this number is
greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to thousands place;
less than 5, thousands digit remains the same
in the problem, we have 359,641
the thousands digit is 9. the number to the right is 6, which is greater than 5. thus we add 1 to 9 = 10. since places should only be 1-digit, we add 1 to the next place (ten thousands place) thus 5+1=6
therefore:
360,000
359,641 round to the nearest 1,000
To round a number to the nearest 1,000, you need to look at the last three digits of the number. In this case, the last three digits of the number "n359,641" are "641".
Now, to determine the nearest 1,000, consider the number 500. If the last three digits are less than 500, you round down to the nearest 1,000. If the last three digits are 500 or greater, you round up to the nearest 1,000.
In our case, "641" is greater than 500, so you round up. Thus, rounding "n359,641" to the nearest 1,000 results in "n360,000".
