Above is the order of the place values so for the number above it would go like this:
3 4 5 9 8 2
hundred-thousands ten-thousands thousands hundreds tens ones
To round to the nearest thousand means that we must decide what number should be in the thousands place (where the 5 currently is) and then make all numbers to the right of it (the hundreds, tens, and ones place) a 0.
To determine what number should go in the thousands place, we need to look at the hundreds place. If the hundreds place contains a number that is greater than or equal to 5, we round up (meaning we add one to that value in the thousands place) otherwise, we round down (meaning we keep the number in the thousands place the same).
In this problem, the hundreds place contains the number 9. Since this is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.
To round up, we add 1 to the value in the thousands place.
So, 5+1 = 6 --> Now the thousands place contains a six and all places to the right become zeros, so the final answer is:
346000
