Rounding Numbers Step Summary: Identify Underline Circle Determine strength ROUND Change leftovers to 0s Examples: Round 39,567,000 to nearest million: 39,567,000 ≈ 40,000,000 Round 4,367,633 to nearest thousand: 4,367,633 ≈ 4,368,000
Practice… Round 1760 to the nearest hundred. Round 5489 to the nearest thousand. Round 186,282 to the nearest ten thousand.
