Question

Estimate the product : $92x697$

Answer 1

Step 1. Rounding off the numbers to the nearest hundred.

• As $92$ lies between $90$ and $100$

Since $92$ is nearest to $90$ than to $100$.

Therefore $92$ rounded off to the nearest tens as $90$.

• Also $697$ lies between $600$ and $700$

Since $697$ is nearest to $700$ than to $600$.

Therefore $697$ rounded off to the nearest hundred as $700$.

Step 2.Find products

$90x700=63000$

Hence the product by rounding off the number $92x697$ is $63000$.
