Whatever place you need to round a number to,

-- look at the single digit after that place (to the right of it).

-- If the digit is 4 or less, leave the place digit alone.

-- If the digit is 5 or more, add ' 1 ' to the place digit.

-- Chgange everything after the place digit to zero.

Example:

8,732 to the nearest thousand.

-- What's in the thousand's place now ? It's ' 8 '.

-- What's the next digit after the ' 8 ' ? It's a ' 7 '.

-- Is that 4 or less ? No.

-- Is it 5 or more ? Yes. OK. Then change the ' 8 ' to ' 9 ',

and make everything after it zero.

Now you have 9,000 . That's the even thousand that's nearest to 8,732 .
