Rounding 103,978 to the Nearest Thousand

To round 103{,}978 to the nearest thousand, first locate the thousands digit, which is 33. The digit immediately to its right is 99. Because 959 \geq 5, increase the thousands digit by 11, changing 33 to 44, and replace all digits to the right of the thousands place with zeros. The rounded result is 104{,}000.
