<span>Rounding Decimals to the Nearest Thousandth - Math A Tube. Number to the right of the thousandth digit is 4. Remember: If less than 5, round down.
</span><span>To round numbers to the nearest thousand, make the numbers whose last three digits are 001 through 499 into the next lower number that ends in 000. For example, 6424 rounded to the nearest thousand is 6000. Numbers that have the last three digits of 500 or more should be rounded up to the next even thousand.
</span><span>If we want to round 4.732 to 2 decimal places, it will either round to 4.73 or 4.74. 4.732 rounded to 2 decimal places would be 4.73 (because it is the nearest number to 2 decimal places). 4.737 rounded to 2 decimal places would be 4.74 (because it would be closer to 4.74).</span>
