Question

Round 590,340 to the nearest ten thousand?

Answer 1

590340 rounded to the nearest ten thousand would give 590000

Answer 2

590 340   to the nearest ten thousand.

The ten thousand digit is 9.  

The digit after the 9 is 0 and 0 is not up to 5, so we round down the 0 and the digits before the 0 from the right are rounded down to 0 as well.

590 340 ≈ 590 000 to the nearest ten thousand
