ProfessorAn underestimate occurs when a calculated value is lower than the actual value. When rounding factors before estimating, if numbers are rounded down instead of to the nearest value, it can lead to underestimation. This is because rounding down tends to make the numbers smaller, resulting in a lower estimated value than if rounding had been done more accurately.
Rounding factors can lead to underestimates or overestimates: the outcome depends on the rounding.

Estimate the sum of 586 and 317 by rounding numbers to the nearest hundred before adding?
900
Why is estimating before you subtract a good idea?
i think it is a good idea because it gets you more closer to getting the exact number
What is the product of 612 and 490 by rounding both numbers to the nearest hundred before multiplying?
To find the product of 612 and 490 by rounding both numbers to the nearest hundred before multiplying, we first round 612 to 600 and 490 to 500. Then, we multiply 600 by 500 to get 300,000. Therefore, the product of 612 and 490, rounded to the nearest hundred before multiplying, is 300,000.
Would you rather find all the factors of a number or find all the prime factors of a number?
Once all the prime factors of a number have been found, the number of factors the number has and what they are can be found. I'd be finding the prime factors first before finding all the factors of a number, so I'd rather find all the prime factors as it means I can stop before I have to do more work in finding all the factors.
What are all lists of the factors of a composite number?
One needs the composite number before he can find its factors. Thus the solution I shall give is ∞.
