Question

Round this 7,433,654 number to the nearest 1000

Answer 1

Hi. To round this number to the nearest 1000 we count from the right...

4 is in the ones place
5 is in the tens place
6 is in the hundreds place
3 is in the thousands place

Okay, 3 is in the thousands place so you look to the right of that and if the number is 5 or higher we round up. The number to the right is a 6 so we round up and place zeroes for the remaining numbers so your final answer is:

7,434,000

I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Take care,
Diana

Answer 2

Look at the thousand's place.
7 4 3 3 6 5 4
Look at the numbers after 3: 3654
3654 should be rounded up, so it is 4000
Put it back into the rest of the number to get

7434000
