Round the number to the nearest thousands.
Example:
Step1: Underline the number in the 'thousands' place value.
Step 2: Identify the number for 'hundreds'.
Digits in the 'thousands' place value Digits in the 'thousands' place value
add 0 add 1
\(\begin{aligned} &\color{red}{7}\;3\;2\;6\quad\Longrightarrow\quad\;\color{red}{7}\;3\;2\;6 \\&\small{+0} \end{aligned}\)
3 is in 'weak numbers',
so the number in the thousands place must add 0.
Step 3: Change the number in the 'hundreds', 'tens' and 'ones' place value to zero.
\(7\;\color{red}{3}\;\color{red}{2}\;\color{red}{6}\quad\Longrightarrow\quad7\;\color{red}{0}\;\color{red}{0}\;\color{red}{0}\)
So, 7326 rounded to the nearest thousands is 7000.
