Worked Example
Round 364,728 to the nearest ten-thousand:
1
Identify the target place value
Ten-thousands digit is 6 (value = 60,000)
Determine whether 364,728 is closer to 360,000 or 370,000.
2
Inspect the test digit immediately to the right
Thousands digit is 4
Since 4 < 5, we round down toward 360,000.
3
Formulate rounded numeral
360,000
All columns to the right of ten-thousands become zeros.
✓Verification Check
Midpoint between 360,000 and 370,000 is 365,000. Is 364,728 < 365,000?
