75286160 + 10 = 75286170.

                                   Hence  75286166 rounded to the nearest tens is

                                   75286170.

                             (c)  Units digit of 621652945 is 5. Clearly rule 2 is applicable.

                                   To round the number we replace 5 by 0 and add 10.

                                   621652940 + 10 = 621652950


                                   Hence  621652945 rounded to the nearest tens is
                                   621652950.

        Rounding to the Nearest Hundreds


        Rule 1:        If the digit in the tens place is 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 (less than 5)
                       then we make the tens and the units place both as zero.


        Rule 2:        If the digit in the tens place is 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 (more than
                       or equal to 5) then we make the tens place and units place both

                       a zeros and add 100 to the number.


        Example 23:  Round 8256822 to the nearest hundreds.

        Solution:           Digit in tens place of 8256822  is 2.

                            Clearly rule 1 is applicable.


                            To round the number we replace the units and tens place both
                            by zeros.

                            Hence 8256822 rounded to the nearest hundreds is 8256800.

        Rounding to the Nearest Thousands


        Rule 1:        If  the  digit  in  the  hundreds  place  is  0  or  1  or  2  or  3  or  4  (less
                       than  5)  then  we  make  the  hundreds,  tens  and  units  place  all  as

                       zeros.

        Rule 2:        If the digit in the hundreds place is 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 (more

                       than  or  equal  to  5)  then  we  make  the  hundreds,  tens  and  units
                       place as zeros and add 1000.
