That's the same as rounding to the greatest place.
Sometimes it is advantageous to express a value in round numbers. To round to a particular place, look at the digit immediately to the right of the one you want to round to, in this case the second greatest place. If that digit is 4, 3, 2, 1 or 0, zero it and everything to the right of it out. If that digit is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, increase your target digit by one and zero everything to the right of it out. If your target digit is 9, it will become a zero and increase the digit to the left of it by one.

It depends on the number of digits accuracy required. Round off to: 3 digits: 12.426 2 digits: 12.43 1 digit: 12.4 Round number: 12
The answer depends entirely upon the level of precision of the rounding, which the question does not specify. Round to the nearest 1000 and the answer is 500. Round to the nearest 1 and the answer is 999.5. Round to any other level of accuracy and you get a different answer again.
Because the extra digits are just clutter suggesting a spurious level of accuracy.
