When rounding to the nearest whatever, divide the whatever by 2. Then the lowest number which rounds up to a given number is the given number less the whatever divided by 2; the largest number which rounds down to a given number is the given number plus the whatever divided by 2, but as numbers exactly half way round up, it is one less than this.

It depends upon to what you are rounding (assuming you want whole numbers):

* to the nearest 50,000: 50,000 ± (50,000 ÷ 2) = 50,000 ± 25,000 → 25,000 to 74,999

* to the nearest 10,000: 50,000 ± (10,000 ÷ 2) = 50,000 ± 5,000 → 45,000 to 54,999

* to the nearest 1,000: 50,000 ± (1,000 ÷ 2) = 50,000 ± 500 → 49,500 to 50,499

* to the nearest 100: 50,000 ± (100 ÷ 2) = 50,000 ± 50 → 49,950 to 50,049

* to the nearest 10: 50,000 ± (10 ÷ 2) = 50,000 ± 5 → 49,995 to 50,004
