Answer 1

The nearest hundred of 173528 is 173500.

Solution:

Rule to round off the value to the nearest hundred:

• If the digit in the tens place is between 0 to 4 i.e. less than 5, then the tens place and the ones place are replaced by ‘0’.
• If the digit in the tens place is equal to or greater than 5, then the tens place and the ones places are replaced by ‘0’ and the hundreds place is increased by 1.

Given number: 173528

Tens place = 2

Which is less than 5, so replace the tens place and ones place by '0'.

173500

Hence the nearest hundred of 173528 is 173500.
