round n359,641 to the nearst 1,000

Answer 1

to round a number to the nearest thousands:
first find the digit in the thousands place, then look at the number to the right of the thousands place,, if this number is
greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to thousands place;
less than 5, thousands digit remains the same

in the problem, we have 359,641
the thousands digit is 9. the number to the right is 6, which is greater than 5. thus we add 1 to 9 = 10. since places should only be 1-digit, we add 1 to the next place (ten thousands place) thus 5+1=6
therefore:
360,000
