Worksheet for rounding numbers to the nearest thousand.

Problem:

The task is to round off the given numbers to the nearest thousand. The numbers provided are:

1. 1470
2. 2517
3. 3258
4. 4621
5. 5073
6. 6914
7. 19829

Solution Approach:

To round a number to the nearest thousand, follow these steps:
1. Identify the digit in the thousands place.
2. Look at the digit in the hundreds place (the digit immediately to the right of the thousands place).
- If the hundreds digit is 5 or greater, round up the thousands digit by 1.
- If the hundreds digit is less than 5, keep the thousands digit as it is.
3. Replace all digits to the right of the thousands place with zeros.

Step-by-Step Calculation:

#### 1. 1470
- Thousands place: 1
- Hundreds place: 4 (less than 5)
- Round down: 1000
- Result: 1000

#### 2. 2517
- Thousands place: 2
- Hundreds place: 5 (equal to 5)
- Round up: 3000
- Result: 3000

#### 3. 3258
- Thousands place: 3
- Hundreds place: 2 (less than 5)
- Round down: 3000
- Result: 3000

#### 4. 4621
- Thousands place: 4
- Hundreds place: 6 (greater than 5)
- Round up: 5000
- Result: 5000

#### 5. 5073
