How do you round 8,265 to the nearest hundred?

Answer 1

#8,265# rounded to the nearest hundred is #8,000#

We have the number #8,265# and we want to round it to the nearest hundred.

Let's go over some guidelines first, though, so that you can round it to the nearest hundred: 1) Round up if the number is greater than 500; round down if it is less than 500.

In this case, the 265 in #8,265# is less than 500, so #8,265# rounded to the nearest hundred is #8,000#

I hope this is useful.

To round 8,265 to the nearest hundred, look at the digit in the hundreds place, which is 8. Since the digit to the right of the hundreds place is 2, which is less than 5, you round down. Therefore, the rounded number is 8,200.
