To round to the nearest thousand, we need to look at the digit in the hundreds place, which is 6. Since 6 > 5, we know that we need to round up (because 6 is closer to 10 than it is to 0). Currently, the number is 95 thousand so when rounding up, the answer will be 96,000.
The system of Roman numerals is based on using special symbols to denote decimal digits I=1, X=10, C=100, M=1000, and their halves V=5, L=50, D=500. Positive integers are written by repeating these numerals.
