The 9 is in the ones place, the 7 is in the tens place, the 4 is in the hundreds place, and the 6 is in the thousands place. We look to the number immediately to the right of the 6. If this number is 5 or bigger, we round the 6 to 7; if that number is less than 5, we leave the 6 as a 6. 4 is the number right next to the 6 and 4 is less than 5, so we leave the 6 as a 6, and rounded to the nearest thousand, the number is 6000
