Answer:

The nearest hundred thousand of the provided number 101,949 is 100,000.

Explanation:

Consider the provided number 101,949.

Rule of rounding a number is:

If 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 follow the number, then no need to change the rounding digit.

If 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 follow the number, then rounding digit rounds up by one number.

Here, the number at the ten thousand place is 0, so no need to change the rounding digit.

Thus, the number can be rounded to the nearest hundred thousand is shown as:

100,000

The nearest hundred thousand of the provided number 101,949 is 100,000.
