Question

Round off the following number to the nearest Thousands: $9722$

Answer 1

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

Here, the hundreds place digit of $9722$ is $7$.

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

Since, $7>5$, the hundreds, tens and ones place digits are replaced by $0$ and thousands place digit will be increased by 1.

So, $9722$ rounded off to the nearest thousands is $10000$.

Hence, $9722$ rounded off to the nearest thousands is $10000$.
