Round 1040 to the nearest hundred?

Answer 1

Let's take a moment to appreciate the number 1040. To round it to the nearest hundred, we look at the digit in the tens place, which is 0. Since 0 is less than 5, we keep the hundreds place as it is and change the remaining digits to the right to zeros. So, 1040 rounded to the nearest hundred is 1000. Just like that, we've created a little happy place for our number to rest.

Answer 2

The two hundreds, either side of 1040, are 1000 and 1100. The first is nearer.
