How do you round 83246 to the nearest thousand?

Answer 1

Well, honey, rounding 83246 to the nearest thousand is a piece of cake. The thousands place is the 3rd digit from the right, so you look at the digit in the hundreds place. Since it's 2, which is less than 5, you just drop everything after the thousands place and voila, you've got 83000. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Answer 2

The digit in the hundreds position is a 2, so we round down to 83000.
