Why might estimating 17 472 000 to the nearest thousands be helpful?

It is not in the least helpful because the number is already given to the nearest thousands. So estimating 17 472 000 to the nearest thousands to get the answer 17 472 000 seems totally and utterly pointless.

How can estimating be helpful before gettin an actual answer?
Estimating can be helpful before getting an actual answer because it allows you to make quick calculations and get a rough idea of what the final answer might be. It helps in determining if the answer is reasonable or if there might be a mistake in the calculations. Estimating can also save time and effort by giving a sense of whether further calculations are necessary or if the rough estimate is sufficient.
Why might you round to the nearest ten instead of the nearest hundred when you estimate a sum?
Your sum might be less than fifty and you would rather round to forty than zero.

Where might one purchase contractor estimating software?
There are many places one might go to purchase contractor estimating software. In addition to an official company website, one might also try the Amazon website.
What is the difference between rounding and estimating a number?
Rounding is a way of simplify an exact number to make it easier to understand or remember. For example, the population of a city might be 71,212. To nearest thousand, this number is 71,000 which may be close enough for your purposes. To nearest hundred, it is 71,200 which is more accurate. Estimating is educated guessing, based on experience, visual observations, or rough calculations or other information. I might estimate the population of a city by driving around in it, counting the houses, studying a city map , aerial photograph or telephone directory or considering other information.

How do you estimate 1374?
The front end estimate is 1000. But estimating a single number, in isolation and without context, is a complete waste of time. If I had to add 1374 to 1 trillion, I would estimate it as 0. If I had to add 1374 to 0.0000000001, I would use the number as given - not use an estimate.Also,if I had to calculate 1374/13 I might estimate it by 1365 because 1365/13 = 105 can be calculated mentally.
Should you be worried that a black hole might one day swallow up the Earth?
No. The nearest black hole is thousands of light years away, and it would take a star about 20x the size of the Sun to create one.
What are the Tools and Techniques for Activity Resource Estimating?
The tools & techniques that can be used for activity resource estimation are: • Alternative analysis - Alternative analysis is all about exploring alternative solutions to a problem. In the case of estimating resource requirements, you will need to consider alternatives available for resources needed for some schedule activities. For example, you might need to decide whether you want to buy or develop a tool needed to perform an activity, what types of machines (for example, Windows or Linux) to use, which computers to use to do the development, or what level of skills is needed etc. • Bottom-up estimating - You might discover that it is rather complex to estimate resources for a given schedule activity. If the problem is inherent to the activity, it might be helpful in certain cases to decompose the activity into smaller components for the purpose of resource estimating and, then estimate the resource for each component, and then aggregate the resources to get an estimate for the whole activity. In aggregation, you must consider the possible relationships (overlaps and other dependencies) among different components of the activity so you don't double-count the resources or consider a seamless summation of the smaller component estimates. • Expert judgment - Expert judgment can be used to assess the input and determine the output of the resource estimating process. • Published estimating data - Information published by various vendors, such as costs for resources, can also be useful in estimating the resources. • Project management software - Depending upon the sophistication of the resource requirements and the capabilities of the available features, project management software might be useful in estimating and managing the resources. It can also be used to create resource breakdown structures. You can use a combination of these tools and techniques to generate the output of the resource estimating process. But, at the end of the day, it is the project manager and his capabilities that determine how accurately the resource estimation happens.
