Round 4,287,965 to the nearest thousand

It is 4,288,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

To round to the nearest thousand, you need to find the thousands place. In the thousands place there is a "7". Okay, we've found it, so the next step is rounding.

To round, there is a handing phrase that we can use to know whether we should round the place up or down. It is "4 or less, let it rest. 5 or more, add 1 more." We need to apply this phrase to the number behind the place we need to round (so apply it to the place behind the thousands place).

When we look behind the thousands place, we see there is a 9. Apply the rule to that. Since 9 is above 5 and not less than 4, we need to add one more to the thousands place.

That means after we round, the 7 turns into a 8. That's how you get 4,288,000.

Hope this makes sense <3
