What is 55,232 rounded to the nearest ten thousand?

Find the place you want to round. Look one place to the right. If the digit is less than 5, round down. If the digit is 5 or higher, round up.

First, find the digit in the ten-thousands place. This is the place you want to round:

55,232

Now look one place to the right:

55,232

This number is 5, so you will round up. First, replace all the digits to the right of the ten-thousands place by zeros:

55,232 → 50,000

Now add 1 to the other part of the number:

50,000 → 60,000
