Explanation:

Step1: Identify the digit in the millions place and the next digit

The number is 26,484,775. The digit in the millions place is 6, and the next digit (hundred thousands place) is 4.

Step2: Apply rounding rule

When rounding to the nearest million, we look at the digit in the hundred thousands place. If it is less than 5, we round down; if it is 5 or more, we round up. Since 4 < 5, we keep the digit in the millions place as it is and set the rest of the digits to the right of the millions place to zero.
So, 26,484,775 rounded to the nearest million is 26,000,000.

Answer:

26000000
