Hi everyone! I'm not sure what this means and there is no further context except that it comes under the textbook section of 'natural numbers'. Thanks for your help!

Explanation:
Com s’aproxima un nombre a un ordre d’unitats determinat
• Se substitueixen per zeros totes les xifres a la dreta de l’ordre esmentat.
• Si la primera xifra substituïda és major o igual a cinc, se suma una unitat a la xifra anterior.

Per exemple:
Aproximació als milers 3836 -> 4000
Aproximació a les centenes 3836 -> 3800
Aproximació a les desenes 3836 -> 3840
