Let’s go through each number one by one and round it to the nearest thousand.
To round to the nearest thousand, look at the
hundreds digit (the third digit from the right):
- If the hundreds digit is
5 or more, round
up.
- If the hundreds digit is
4 or less, round
down.
When we round down, the thousands digit stays the same and everything after becomes zero.
When we round up, add 1 to the thousands digit and make everything after zero.
