To round 409,614 to the nearest thousand you have to eliminate the units, the tens and the hundreds, and then round the number in the place of the thousands according to the number eliminated from the place of the hundreds: if the eliminated number is smaller than 5, the number in the thousands is increased in one unit; if the eliminated number is 5 or greater, then the number of the thousands must be increased in one unit. Given that the number in the hundreds is 6, you have to increase 409 to 410 ant the resultant number is 410,000. Answer: 410,000.
The number 409,614 rounded to the nearest thousand is 410,000. This is because the hundreds digit is 6, which requires rounding up according to standard rounding rules.
To round the number 409,614 to the nearest thousand, we need to look at the hundreds digit. In this case, the hundreds digit is 6, which is 5 or higher. So, we round up. The number becomes 410,000 when rounded to the nearest thousand.
When rounding to the nearest thousand, any digit in the hundreds place that is 5 or higher will result in the thousands digit increasing by one, and all subsequent digits becoming zero. Since we're rounding to the nearest thousand, we ignore the digits in the tens and ones place, focusing only on the hundreds digit or higher.
When rounding 409,614 to the nearest thousand, you look at the hundreds digit, which is 6. Since 6 is greater than 5, you add 1 to the thousands place digit (9), resulting in 410,000. Hence, 409,614 rounded to the nearest thousand is 410,000.
