360 000 <—————369 594 ———> 370 000

 

There is a 9 in thousands place, so round up to 370 000.

369 594 is 370 000 rounded to the nearest 10 000.

 

Rounding to the nearest 100 000 (hundred thousand)

When rounding to the nearest 100 000, count in 100 000's either side of your number and choose the nearest.

8 400 000 <———8 439 798—————> 8 500 000

 

There is a 3 in the ten thousands place, so round down to 8 400 000.

Rounding to the nearest 1 000 000 (million)

When rounding to the nearest 1 000 000, count in 1 000 000's either side of your number and choose the nearest.

If the number in the hundred thousands place is less than 5 then round down, if the number in the hundred thousands place is 5 or more, round up!

8 000 000 <———8 500 000———> 9 000 000
