Of course! Let's solve the problem step by step.
The task is to
round each number to the nearest thousand.
---
📌 How to Round to the Nearest Thousand
1. Look at the
hundreds digit (the third digit from the right).
2. If the hundreds digit is
5 or greater, round
up.
3. If the hundreds digit is
4 or less, round
down.
4. When you round, change all digits to the right of the thousands place to zero.
