Answer:

271,000

Explanation:

Rounding depends on the place value, if you are rounding to the nearest thousand, look at the number in the hundred place. Is that number lower or higher than 5? If lower, the place you are rounding to stays the same, and the places below it turn to zeros. If 5 or higher, round up, add 1 to the place you are rounding to, then turn the places below to zeros.

In this case, the hundreds place is a 4. Meaning you round down.
