rounding off to the nearest thousands

When we round off a number to the nearest thousands, we look for the digit at the
hundreds place.

Š If the digit at the hundreds place is less than 5, keep the thousands place digit as
it is and replace the hundreds, tens and ones places digits with 0.

Š If the digit at the hundreds place is 5 or greater than 5, increase the thousands
place digit by 1 and replace the hundreds, tens and ones places digits with 0.
