Well, well, well, we've got ourselves a rounding question! 1,643,253 rounded to the nearest hundred thousand is indeed 1,600,000. So close, but not quite a bullseye!
Yes, you are correct. Rounding 1,643,253 to the nearest hundred thousand gives you 1,640,000.
To round a number to the nearest hundred thousand, we need to look at the digit in the hundred thousand's place and the digit to its right.
In the number 1,643,253, the digit in the hundred thousand's place is 4, and the digit to its right is 3.
If the digit to the right is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, we do not change the digit in the hundred thousand's place and replace all digits to the right with zeros.
However, if the digit to the right is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, we increase the digit in the hundred thousand's place by 1 and replace all digits to the right with zeros.
In this case, since the digit to the right (3) is less than 5, we keep the digit in the hundred thousand's place (4) and replace all digits to the right with zeros.
Therefore, rounded to the nearest hundred thousand, 1,643,253 becomes 1,600,000, not 1,640,000.
