This number is between:
• 60,000
and
• 50,000
They are the two ten thousand numbers.
These two numbers are important when we need to round to the ten thousand as in this case.
Therefore, the two numbers are:
60,000 and 50,000, because the number is 53,982, (or 50,000 + 3,982).
To round the number 53,982 to the nearest ten thousand, we can see that the nearest ten thousand in this number are:
50,000 + 3,982
Therefore, the nearest ten thousand for this number (53,982) is 50,000.
