What is 860,693 round to the nearest thousand

That would be 861,000

Hi!

To round something to the nearest number place (e.g. tens, hundreds, thousands) you need to first identify the correct place with your problem 860,693
     ^
the thousands place is right here
                                                                                         
To round it you need to take the number before it 860,693 and see if it 
                                                                                             ^
                                                                                      which is here
greater than or less than 5. If it is greater than 5 then you round up, if it is less than 5 then you round down.

So your answer is 861,000 because you round up.

The linear equation is: y=ax+b
