Rounding to the Nearest Hundred

To round 23{,}658 to the nearest hundred, first locate the hundreds digit, which is 6{6}. Next, look at the digit to its right: the tens digit is 5{5}. Because 555 \geq 5, add 1{1} to the hundreds digit, changing 6{6} to 7{7}. Finally, replace the tens and ones digits with zeros. The rounded result is 23{,}700.
