Question

round 657,160 to the nearest hundred thousand.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the hundred thousand place

In the number 657,160, the digit in the hundred thousand place is 6 (since the places are: hundred thousand, ten thousand, thousand, hundred, ten, one; so 6 is in hundred thousand, 5 in ten thousand, 7 in thousand, etc.).

Step2: Look at the next digit

The digit to the right of the hundred thousand place (in the ten thousand place) is 5.

Step3: Apply rounding rule

When rounding, if the digit to the right is 5 or more, we round up the digit in the place we are rounding to. So we round 6 up by 1, making it 7, and set all the digits to the right to zero. So 657,160 rounded to the nearest hundred thousand is 700,000.

Answer:

700,000
