Estimation with Large Numbers

Estimation = rounding to nearest convenient unit. Round to nearest thousand: 3,678 → 4,000 (since 6 ≥ 5). 2,341 → 2,000 (since 3 < 5). Rounding rule: look at digit to the right of rounding place. ≥5: round up. <5: round down. Use estimation to check if an answer is reasonable: 5,678 × 9 ≈ 6,000 × 9 = 54,000. Actual: 51,102. Close! Estimation confirmed it is reasonable.
