Question

How do I round 47,283 to the nearest 100,000

Answer 1

The answer is zero.

Explanation:

The 4 is in the ten-thousands place.

Write the number 47,283 with an additional zero in the 100,000 place.

047,283

To round to the nearest 100,000, all digits to the right of the 100,000 place become zero. That means that the digits 47283 all become zero. Since 4 is less than 5, the digit to its left is not raised by 1, so the 100,000 place digit remains zero, and you end up with 000,000, which is simply 0.

Answer: 0
