in the given mathematical
value of 51, 487 to round off this number to the nearest thousand, we can
elaborate the number values using the expanded form to clearly see the order
position:
1. 50, 000 = ten
thousands
2. 1, 000 =
thousands
3. 400 = hundreds
4. 80 = tens
5. 7 = ones
Now we can observe the
numerical value of 51, 487 than 1, 000 is the number in which belongs to the
thousands’ position hence since the nearest number is 400 the value will be 51,
000.
