[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To round off a number to the nearest 1000, you need to consider the thousands digit and the following digits.

- If the thousands digit is 1 to 4, you round down to the nearest thousand.
- If the thousands digit is 5 to 9, you round up to the nearest thousand.

Let's look at some examples:

1) 4592 -> The thousands digit is 4, and the following digit is 5. Therefore, you round up to the nearest thousand. The rounded off number is 5000.

2) 1763 -> The thousands digit is 1, and the following digit is 7. Therefore, you round up to the nearest thousand. The rounded off number is 2000.

3) 8939 -> The thousands digit is 8, and the following digit is 9. Therefore, you round up to the nearest thousand. The rounded off number is 9000.

4) 6421 -> The thousands digit is 6, and the following digit is 4. Therefore, you round down to the nearest thousand. The rounded off number is 6000.

Therefore, rounding off to the nearest 1000 can result in the following possible last three digits: 000, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, or 9000.
