I rounded to the nearest ten thousand and worked out that all of the numbers below will round to 420 000. The teacher marked it as incorrect as she rounded the numbers to the nearest thousand. By her textbook definition alone surely I was supposed to round to the nearest 10, 000? The number 420,000 has four zeros? Or am I wrong? Thanks for your time...

The number 420,000 has four zeros? Or am I wrong?

Thanks for your time...

1.7.1.4) Rounding to the nearest 10 000 means that the last four digits (thousands,
hundreds, tens and units) will turn into a zeros.
Highlight or mark the ten thousands digit. Look at the hundreds digit to the right of it
to determine whether rounding up or down is needed. The numbers 0; 1; 2; 3 and 4 are
rounded down. The numbers 5; 6; 7; 8 and 9 are rounded up to the next number.
Example
Round 36 945 to the nearest ten thousand.
Highlight the thousands digit and look at the number to its right (hundreds).
36 945
The thousands digit is a 6 and the thousands digit should then be rounded up changing
the 36 945 to 40 000.
Answer = 40 000
