Answer 2

Rounding off 222702 to the nearest ten-thousands and thousands give 220000 and 2228000 respectively.

Given:

The number 222702.

To Find:

The number obtained on rounding off 222702 to the nearest ten-thousand.

Solution:

We have been given the number 222702.

We have to round off 222702 to the nearest ten thousand.

The number in the ten-thousand position is 2. To round off 222702 to the nearest ten thousand, we need to observe the number preceding ten-thousand, i.e. the number in the thousands position.

If that number is less than 5, we replace all the numbers preceding the ten-thousands position by 0, or if it is greater than or equal to 5, we will increase the number in the ten-thousands position by 1, and the numbers preceding it will be replaced by zero.

The number in the thousand positions is 2. As 2<5, we will replace all the numbers preceding the ten-thousands position by 0 to round off 222702 to the nearest ten thousand.

Hence, we get 220000.

Similarly, to round off to the nearest thousands, we will observe the number preceding it. The rules are the same as above.

The number in the hundreds position of 222702 is 7. Since it is greater than 5, we will increase the number in the thousands position by 1, and the numbers preceding it will be replaced by zero.

Hence we get 2228000.

Rounding off 222702 to the nearest ten-thousands and thousands give 220000 and 2228000 respectively.
