Explanation:

Step1: Identify the digit in the thousands place and the digit to its right.

The number is 26,484,775. The digit in the thousands place is 4 (from 26,484,775, the thousands digit is the 4 in 4,775), and the digit to the right (hundreds place) is 7.

Step2: Apply the rounding rule.

Since the digit in the hundreds place (7) is 5 or greater, we round up the thousands place digit. So we add 1 to the thousands place digit (4 becomes 5) and set all digits to the right of the thousands place to 0.
So, 26,484,775 rounded to the nearest thousand is 26,485,000.

Answer:

26,485,000
