Answer:

427,000

Explanation:

To round numbers to the nearest thousand, or beyond, focus only on two digits: the digit in the place you’re rounding to and the digit to its immediate right. If the digit to the right is less than or equal to 4, then you will round down to the nearest whole number. If the digit to the right is greater than or equal to 5, then you will round up to the nearest whole number. Change all other digits to the right of these digits to 0s.

In this case, since 3 is less than 4, we round down.

Doing this, we get 427,000.

hope this helps :)
