What do you get when you round 74283.629 to the nearest thousand?

Answer 1

To round this number to the nearest thousand, you will look at everything after the thousandth place (in this case, we are looking at 283.629). Since this is less than half of the major portion you are talking about (1000, half of this is 500, 283.629<500) therefore it rounds down, so you truncate this amount. 74283.629-283.629=74000.
