What is 500 rounded to the nearest thousand?

Answer

500 rounded to the nearest thousand is
1,000

Nearest thousand — the hundreds digit decides: 5⁠–⁠9 round up, 0⁠–⁠4 keep; digits to the right become 0.

Exactly halfway between 0 and 1,000 — equally close to both. The halfway rule rounds away from zero, as in school and Excel ROUND: 1,000. Round half to even (banker's rounding) gives 0.
