texaschic101 · Answer

3,661,528 --- first find the number in the hundred thousands spot.
That number is 6 ....now look at the next number to the right...it is also 6, that means it is rounded up. If the next number would have been 4 or below, we would keep the number the same, and if it is 5 or above, you round up.
So, 3,661,528 rounds to 3,700,000 and 1,745,943 rounds to 1,700,000...now just subtract....3,700,000 - 1,700,000 = your answer
