What is 527040 to the nearest ten thousand?

Answer 1

To round look at the place value column to the right of the ten thousands column (the thousands column) - if it is 5 or more, the number rounds up, otherwise it rounds down.

In 527,040 the thousands column is 7 which is 5 or more, so it rounds up.

527,040 → 530,000 to the nearest ten thousand.
