Question

Round off $29,643$ to the nearest ten thousand

Answer 1

Rounding off to nearest ten thousand

To round off in nearest ten thousands-

(i) Look at the digit right to the ten thousands place. If the digit is less than $5$ leave the digit in ten thousands place as it is. If the digit is $5$ or more than $5$. Then add $1$ to the ten thousands place.

(ii) Change all the digits to the right of the ten thousands place to $0$

We have- $29,643$ in which digit just right to ten thousand place is $9$.

As, the digit is more than $5$, adding $1$ to the ten thousands place and replacing rest of the digits to $0$

Therefore, rounding off $29,643$ to nearest ten thousand is $30,000$
