Question

Round to the given place: 340,413 (hundred thousands)

Answer 1

The answer is 300,000.

Explanation:

Hundred thousand would be one hundred (100) and a thousand, which is three zeroes. So we put three zeroes after 100 and we get 100,000. So in this case we're rounding to 300,000.

Answer 2

The answer is: 300,000

Explanation:

Hundred thousand is the natural number which follows 99,999 and 100,001.

Hence, the number is given by: 100,000.

Hence, when we round any number to the hundred thousand then there must be 5 zeros in the number.

i.e. the number 340,413 rounding to the nearest hundred thousand is given by: 300000

( Since the first digit i.e. 3 is at the hundred thousand place and all the number that precedes this place is converted to 0 )
