The best way to estimate large numbers is to find out how many units is in the number. For example, when you are dealing with millions you need to estimate the number of items closest to the large number. Ex. 1, 899,000 estimating this number is basically saying close to 2 million because the number to the right is higher then 5 so the number goes up.
