What is 13212 rounded to the nearest thousand?

Answer 1

13000

Answer 2

To round a number to the nearest thousand you first need to consider only digits at place value thousand and greater. In this case, that would be 13,000. The next step is to consider the hundreds digit. If it is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 we round up. Otherwise, we leave the number as it is. In this case, the hundreds digit is 2, so we don't need to round up. Thus, 13212 rounded to the nearest thousand is 13,000.
