What is 8053 to the nearest thousand?

Answer 1

To round to a place value column, look at the next column to the right: if it is 5 or more round up otherwise round down.

To the nearest thousand look at the hundreds column. In this case it is 0, so the number rounds down:

8053 → 8000 to the nearest thousand.

Answer 2

If a number has 500 or a higher value, it is rounded to the upper thousand. If that is lower than 500, it is rounded to the lower thousand. 8053 to the nearest thousand is 8000.
