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 9≥59 \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.
