Explanation:

Rounding to nearest thousand

This involves dividing by 1000 and dropping off the decimal part if less than 0.5 or rounding up to the next integer if the decimal part is 0.5 and above. Then multiply the result by 1000

For example, in the first example (a),original number is 18971.

18971/1000 = 18.971

Since the decimal part is >= 0.5 we round up 18 to 19 and then multiply by 1000 to get 19000

Rounding to nearest hundred

Divide by 100, round up to next higher integer if >=0.5 or drop the decimal part if <0.5; then multiply the result by 100

For (c): Original is 20,119

20119/100 = 201.19

Drop the decimal part since <0.5

Multiply the result 201 by 100 to get 20,100

Rounding to nearest tens

Divide by 10, drop decimal if <0.5 or round to nearest integer if >= 0.5 and multiply result by 10

For (b), original is 25687

Divide by 10 to get 2568.7
Round up to get 2569

Multiply by 10 to get 25690

Others are computed in a similar way.
