Explanation:

Step1: Identify the ten-thousand place

In the number 227,033, the digit in the ten - thousand place is 2 (the second 2 from the left, since the places are: hundred - thousand:2, ten - thousand:2, thousand:7, hundred:0, ten:3, one:3).

Step2: Look at the digit to the right

The digit to the right of the ten - thousand place (the digit in the thousand place) is 7.

Step3: Apply the rounding rule

Since 7 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the digit in the ten - thousand place. So we add 1 to the 2 in the ten - thousand place, and change all the digits to the right of the ten - thousand place to 0.
The number 227,033 rounded to the nearest ten - thousand is 230,000.

Answer:

230000
