How do you round 163707 to the nearest thousand?

Answer 1

Start with all the digits to the left including the thousand's digit. Next if the digit in the hundreds position is bigger than 4 then round up by adding 1 to the number. Finally put zeros for all the positions to the right of the thousand's digit.

start with 163

since 7 is bigger than 4 then add 1 = 164

finally add the remaining zeros = 164000
