What number is obtained on rounding off 6,292 to the nearest hundreds?
Since, the last two digits are 92, so after making them 00, the digit before them will increase by one.

Round off the following number to the nearest hundreds: 872
Rounding off each number to the nearest tens before performing the required operation gives more accurate estimate than rounding off each number to the nearest hundreds or thousands.
