So wen you get to the fifth zero check the number that it falls on . Thus 7 will be that number,And since it's greater than 5 you add 1 to the prefix of the 7 which is 6 to be become 6+1=7 , hence the answer is 700000 to the nearest hundred thousand.

now round the number to nearest hundred thousand.

hundred thousand digit in 672726 is 7

If rounding number is greater than equal to 5 then next number increase by 1.

If rounding number is less than 5 then next number does not change.
