Rounding to the Nearest Thousand (Lesson)
When rounding a number to the nearest thousand, the key digit to check is the hundreds place. This digit tells you whether the number moves up to the next thousand or stays at the current one.
- If the hundreds digit is 5 or greater, increase the thousands digit by one and round up to the next thousand.
- If the hundreds digit is 4 or less, keep the thousands digit the same and round down to the lower thousand.
Example 1: Round 3,684 to the nearest thousand.
The thousands digit is 3, representing 3,000.
The hundreds digit is 6, which determines whether we round up or down.
Since the hundreds digit is 5 or higher, increase the thousands digit by one and round up to 4,000.
So, 3,684 rounds to 4,000.
Example 2: Round 2,341 to the nearest thousand
The thousands digit is 2, representing 2,000.
The hundreds digit is 3, which is less than 5.
Because the hundreds digit is 4 or lower, keep the thousands digit the same and round down to 2,000.
So, 2,341 rounds to 2,000.
