Best Answer

The greatest value in 840 is the 8. The greatest place value is the hundreds place. When rounding to a specific place, take a look at the digit immediately to the right of the target, in this case, the tens place. If that digit is 4 or less, zero everything to the right of the target out. If that digit is 5 through 9, increase the target by one and zero everything to the right of it out. If the target is a 9, increasing it will turn it to zero and increase the digit to the left of the target by one.

849 rounds to 800, which makes sense because 849 is closer to 800 (49 away) than it is to 900 (51 away).
