Q. Round 956996.60803 to the nearest hundred.Answer:
Identify Digits: Identify the digit in the hundreds place and the digit to its right.The hundreds place is the third digit from the right of the decimal point. In 956996.60803, the hundreds place is occupied by the digit '9', and the digit to its right is '6'.
Determine Rounding: Determine whether to round up or round down.Since the digit to the right of the hundreds place is 6, which is 5 or more, we round up.
Round Up Hundreds: Round up the hundreds place digit.The hundreds place digit is 9. When we round up, we add 1 to this digit, which results in 10. However, since we cannot have a 10 in a single digit place, we carry over the 1 to the next left digit, which is the thousands place.
Adjust Remaining Digits: Adjust the remaining digits. After rounding up, all digits to the right of the hundreds place become zero. The thousands place digit was 9, and with the carryover from the hundreds place, it becomes 10. Again, we cannot have 10 in a single digit place, so we carry over the 1 to the ten-thousands place.
Continue Carrying Over: Continue carrying over as necessary.The ten-thousands place digit was '6', and with the carryover, it becomes '7'. There are no more carryovers needed, so the final rounded number is 957000.
