Let us identify the different place values in the given number.


87.945327

Starting from the left side, we have:

8 - ten's place

7 - one's place

decimal point

9 - tenth's place

4 - hundredths place

5 - thousandths place

3 - ten-thousandths place

2 - hundred-thousandths place

7 - millionth place

As we can see above, the number in the hundred-thousandths place is 2.

The number after 2 or the number in the millionth place is 7. Since the number in the millionth place is above 5, we will round up the hundred-thousandths place by adding 1. So, 87.945327 becomes 87.94533 when rounded to the hundred-thousandth place.
