1 answer

To round off 6823617 to the nearest 1000, we need to find the thousands place (the digit in the thousands position). In this case, the thousands place is 6.

To round off to the nearest 1000, we follow the general rounding rules:
- If the digit in the hundreds place is less than 5, we drop all the digits after the thousands place and keep the thousands place digit as is.
- If the digit in the hundreds place is 5 or greater, we add 1 to the thousands place digit and drop all the digits after the thousands place.

Since the digit in the hundreds place is 8 (greater than 5), we add 1 to the thousands place digit (6) and drop all the digits after it.

Therefore, rounding off 6823617 to the nearest 1000 would be 6824000.
