Sometimes it is advantageous to express a value in round numbers. To round to a particular place, look at the digit immediately to the right of the one you want to round to. If that digit is 4, 3, 2, 1 or 0, zero it and everything to the right of it out. If that digit is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, increase your target digit by one and zero everything to the right of it out.

How do you Round each number to indicated place value?
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).
