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 thousands place. This is the place you want to round:

6,762

Now look one place to the right:

6,762

7 is greater than 5, so you will round up. First, replace all the digits to the right of the thousands place by zeros:

6,762 → 6,000

Now add 1 to the other part of the number:

6,000 → 7,000
