Determine the two consecutive multiples of 1,000 that bracket 800
800 is between 0 and 1,000
500 is the midpoint between 0 and 1,000
As illustrated on the number line, 800 is greater than the midpoint (500)
800
842 to the nearest 1000 is 1000. When rounding to the nearest 1000, we look at the hundreds place of the number in question. Since the hundreds place in 842 is less than 500, we round down to the nearest 1000, which is 1000.
This can happen if you round to the nearest 1000, to the nearest 10,000, or to the nearest 100,000.
