Rounding Numbers To The Nearest Hundred Thousand
Rounding to the Nearest Hundred Thousand
When you are rounding to the nearest hundred thousand,
look at the ten thousands digit of the number.
If the ten thousands digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, then round
down.
If the ten thousands digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, then round up.
When you round down, the Hundred Thousand digit

When you round up, then thousands digit increases by
one, and the rest of the digits go to zero.
