To round a number to a certain place value, you look at the digit immediately to the right of that place value. If it is 5 or greater, you round up; if it is less than 5, you round down. For example, to round 3.785 to the nearest hundredth, you would look at the digit in the thousandths place (8), which is 5 or greater, so you round up to 3.79.

How do you round 1985027 to the nearest hundred thousand?
You would round 1,985,027 as you would with any other number. You achieve this by looking at the digit in the place value directly to the right of the place value you're rounding too. In your case, you're trying to round to the closest hundred thousand.In 1,985,000, the 9 is the starting of the hundred thousands place value. If the value of the number directly to the right of it (8) is more than five, you round up. If it's less than five - round down.Here, the ten-thousands place is an 8, which is greater than five. So you round up. 1,985,027 becomes 2,000,000. Because the place value can be no higher than a 9. So you're actually rounding to the next million because the hundred thousands place value has exceeded the highest number in the real number line (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9).

In this case it's 8 which you round up adding the value of one to the 9 which makes it 10, so the tenths place becomes zero and a value of one is added to the next number on the left of the tenths digit making it 1.
