Given : Number - 47000

To find : What is the smallest whole number that rounds to 47000.

If that number is 4 or less then digit will remain the same or the digit will drop to down.

Example - 463 round to 463 or 460

If that digit is 5 or more then the digit before that number will increase the number by one or the digit will go up.

Example - 467 round to 470

The least number that rounds to 47000 must be less than 1.

Then the number is 47000-1=46999 is a whole number.
