Answer 2

Hi!

To round something to the nearest number place (e.g. tens, hundreds, thousands) you need to first identify the correct place with your problem 860,693
     ^
the thousands place is right here
                                                                                         
To round it you need to take the number before it 860,693 and see if it 
                                                                                             ^
                                                                                      which is here
greater than or less than 5. If it is greater than 5 then you round up, if it is less than 5 then you round down.

So your answer is 861,000 because you round up.
