Round off the following number to the nearest tens. 7896.


Given :


The given number is 7896.

To do :

We have to round off the given number to the nearest tens.

Solution :


To round off whole numbers:

  • Find the place value you want (the "rounding digit") and look to the digit just to the right of it.
  • If that digit is less than 5, do not change the "rounding digit" but change all digits to the right of the "rounding digit" to zero.
  • If that digit is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to the rounding digit and change all digits to the right of the rounding digit to zero.

In 7896, 6 is greater than 5. Therefore, 7896 when rounded off to nearest tens is 7900.

Therefore, 7896 can be rounded off as 7900.
