Answer:

2000

Explanation:

One way to do this is to add half of a thousand, then zero all digits to the right of the thousands place.

2371 +500 = 2871

With digits zeroed, this is ...

2000

__

Additional comment

The traditional instruction is to look at the digit in the place to the right of the thousands place. (It is 3.) If it is 5 or more, you increase the number by 1 in the place you're rounding to. (No increase is needed.) Then you set all digits to the right of the thousands place to zero.

2371 rounds to 2000
