The round off 52,398 to nearest thousand is:
A) \[52,390\]
B) $52,400$
C) $52,000$
D) $53,000$

Hint: According to the question we have to find the round off thousand place of the given number $52,398$. So, first of all we have to find the ones place of the given number and after finding the ones place of the given number now we will find the tens place of the given number and again same as we find the tens place of the given number now, we will find hundreds place of the given number and same as now, we have to find the thousand place of the given number.
Now, as we have obtained all the ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands place and if it’s digit at hundred places which is less than it’s ones place. So, we replace each of the hundreds, tens and ones digits by 0 and we have to keep the other digits as they are.
Hence, with the help of the process given above we can obtain the round off $52,398$to thousand place.

Complete step by step answer:
Step 1: As asked in the question first of all we will find the ones place of the given number $52,398$ which is 5 and same as the tens place of the given number is 2 and the hundreds place is 1 and same as the thousands place is 1.
Step 2: As we obtained all the ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands places which are 8, 9, 3, and 2 we can see that it’s digit at hundred places is 2, which is less than 3. Hence, we have to replace each of the hundreds, tens and ones digits by 0 and keep the remaining digits as it is.
Step 3: Now, as given in the question the number is $52,398$ and after rearranging the hundreds, tens and ones digits the obtained number is $52,000$.
Final solution: Hence, on finding the ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands places and their digits we have found the round off $52,398$ to thousand place is $52,000$.

Therefore, the correct option is (C).

Note:
The ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands places which are 8, 9, 3, and 2 we can see that it’s digit at hundreds place is 2, which is less than 3. Hence, we have to replace each of the hundreds tens and ones digits by 0 and keep the remaining digits as it is.
The rounded number is easy to remember and is a convenient figure for calculations.
