What is the result of rounding 1,725,687 to the nearest thousand?

1,700,000
1,800,000
1,726,000
6,000

The correct answer is: 6,000

To determine the result of rounding 1,725,687 to the nearest thousand, we focus on the digit in the hundreds place, which in this case is 6 (from the number 1,725,687). When rounding, if the digit in the hundreds place is 5 or greater, we round up the thousands digit. If it is less than 5, we round down. Here, since the hundreds digit is 6, we round up. The thousands digit in 1,725,687 is 5, so we add 1 to this digit, giving us 6. Consequently, the number rounds up to 1,726,000. Therefore, rounding 1,725,687 to the nearest thousand results in 1,726,000.
