What is the rounded to the nearest million of 281421906?

Answer 1

To round to the nearest million, you first need to consider only digits with a place value one million or greater. In this instance that would be 281,000,000. The next step is to look at the hundred thousands digit. If it is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 you need to round up. Otherwise, you round down (leave the number as it is). In this case, the hundred thousands digit is a 4. Thus, 281,421,906 rounded to the nearest million is 281,000,000.
