Question

Round off the following number to the nearest ten thousands: $8,61,392$

Answer 1

To round off to the nearest ten thousands

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

Here, the thousands place digit of $8,61,392$ is $1$.

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

Since, $1<5$, the thousands, hundreds, tens and ones place digits are replaced by $0$ and ten thousands place digit will remain same.

So, $8,61,392$ rounded off to the nearest ten thousands is $8,60,000$.

Hence, $8,61,392$ rounded off to the nearest ten thousands is $8,60,000$.
