How do you round 9,116 to the nearest hundred?

Taking a closer look at the hundreds that are closest to 9116, we can see that 9000, 9100, and 9200 are all fairly close, so we know that one of these will probably be the answer. But which is the closest?

The answer can be found by subtracting various factors or by applying a clever trick that involves focusing only on the final two digits (16) and comparing them to 50. If the results are less than 50, we round down; if they are more than 50, we round up. Since 16 is less than 50, we round down.

Our ultimate solution is 9100 since we round down by taking the number (16) and replacing the last two digits with 0.

In the event that we had to round up, we would have added one to the hundreds place (getting 9200) and converted the 1 and 6 to zeros.

To round 9,116 to the nearest hundred, look at the digit in the hundred's place, which is 1.

Since the digit to the right of it (in the tens place) is less than 5, you round down the hundred's place digit.

Therefore, 9,116 rounded to the nearest hundred is 9,100.
