47,739 round to the nearest ten thousand

Sagot :

47,739 rounded off to the nearest ten thousand is 50,000.

The digit to be rounded of is 4. The number to its right is 7, so you will need to round it up (add 1, then replace all digits to the right with 0).
the "tenth thousand" is in 4 (the first digit). the number next to it is 7 which is greater than five so you have to add 1 to 4 then make the rest of the numbers zero, which results to the answer: 50,000
