How do you round to the nearest 1000?

Answer 1

Oh honey, it's not rocket science. Look at the digit in the thousands place. If it's 5 or greater, you round up; if it's less than 5, you round down. Replace all digits to the right with zeros. Boom, you've rounded to the nearest 1000. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Answer 2

If the digit in the hundreds place is 5 or more, round up to the next highest multiple of 1000. Otherwise, round down by replacing the last 3 digits before the decimal point (and any digits after the decimal point) with 0s. For example, 54,437.96 rounds down to 54,000, but 54,502.8 rounds up to 55,000.
