Best Answer

It means the multiple of 1,000 which is closest to a specific number.

An example.

Round 3,244 to the nearest thousand.

The two multiples of 1,000 either side of this number are 3,000 & 4,000.

We must therefore either round up or down depending on which is closest to the number.

3,000 is closer (it is 244 away [3244-3000 = 244] where 4,000 is 756 away [4,000 - 3244 = 756]). To the nearest thousand 3,244 is therefore rounded down to 3,000.
