What place value to round to is necessary. For example if rounded to nearest:

  • one, or whole number: 33129. Note that it already is to a whole number.
  • ten: 33130
  • hundred: 33100
  • thousand: 33000.

Why would this be done, you might wonder. Well if you're talking about the population of a town, or how many seats in a football stadium, then 33000 might be a good enough number to convey information.
