What is 21079000 rounded to the nearest hundred thosand?

Answer 1

To round to the nearest hundred thousand, you first need to consider only digits of place value hundred thousands and greater. In this case, that would be 21,000,000. The next step is to look at the ten thousands place. If this is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 we need to round up, otherwise we can leave the number as it is. In this case, the digit is a 7, so we need to round up. Thus 21,079,000 rounded to the nearest hundred thousand is 21,100,000.
