Answer 1

To round off to the nearest lakhs

Step 1: Check the ten thousands place digit of the given number.

Here, the ten thousands place digit of $6,29,636$ is $2$.

Step 2: If ten thousands place digit $<$ $5$, replace the ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens and ones place digits by $0$ and keep other digits same. If ten thousands place digit is $⩾$$5$, replace the ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens and ones place digits by $0$ and increase the lakhs digit by $1$ keeping other digits same.
