To estimate the sum of these two numbers, we shall round them to the nearest 5,000, and then add the sum of those numbers.

36,795 rounded to the nearest 5,000 = 35,000
14,467 rounded to the nearest 5,000 = 15,000

15,000+35,000= 50,000

Therefore, an estimate for the sum of 36795 and 14467 is approximately 50,000.
