Oh, dude, 56500 to the nearest 1000 is like 57000. You know, just round up if the hundreds place is 5 or greater. It's not rocket science, but hey, now you know!
To round 56500 to the nearest thousand, we look at the hundreds place, which is 5. Since 5 is less than 5, we round down. Therefore, 56500 rounded to the nearest thousand is 56000.
