Examples on rounding off to the nearest thousand (1000):

1. (i) 3846 → 4000 

We see the digit in the hundred’s place is 8, we round to the nearest multiple of thousand which is greater than the number. Hence, 3846 is nearer to 4000 than 3000.

(ii) 8039 → 8000

We see the digit in
the hundred’s place is 0, we round to the nearest multiple of thousand which is
smaller than the number. Hence, 8039 is nearer to 8000 than 9000.

(iii) 9985 → 10000

We see the digit in
the hundred’s place is 9, we round to the nearest multiple of thousand which is
greater than the number. Hence, 9985 is nearer to 10000 than 9000.

(iv) 3500 → 4000

We see the digit in
the hundred’s place is 5, we round to the nearest multiple of thousand which is
greater than the number. Hence, 3500 is nearer to 4000 than 3000.

(v) 16796 → 17000

We see the digit in
the hundred’s place is 7, we round to the nearest multiple of thousand which is
greater than the number. Hence, 16796 is nearer to 17000 than 16000.

To round off a number to the nearest thousand, look at the digit in the hundreds place.

• If the digit in the hundreds place is 4 or less, then place zeroes in the digit at the hundreds, tens and ones place. Keep the digit in the thousands place as it is.

• If the digit in the hundreds place is 5 or more, then place zeroes in the digits at the hundreds, tens and ones place. Also add 1 to the digit in the thousands place.
