When rounding numbers, we typically look at the digit immediately to the right of the rounding digit. In this case, the digit to the right of 9 is 9, which is greater than or equal to 5. When the digit to the right is 5 or greater, we round the rounding digit up by 1. Therefore, 996 is rounded up to 1000.
