Solution Steps

To round a number to the nearest ten thousand, identify the digit in the ten thousand place and the digit immediately to its right (the thousand place). If the thousand place digit is 5 or greater, increase the ten thousand place digit by 1 and set all digits to the right to zero. Otherwise, keep the ten thousand place digit the same and set all digits to the right to zero.

Step 1: Identify the Ten Thousand Place

The number given is \(561,389,243\). The digit in the ten thousand place is \(8\).

Step 2: Check the Thousand Place

The digit immediately to the right of the ten thousand place is \(9\).

Step 3: Apply Rounding Rule

Since the thousand place digit \(9\) is greater than or equal to \(5\), we increase the ten thousand place digit \(8\) by \(1\), resulting in \(9\).

Step 4: Set All Digits to the Right to Zero

After increasing the ten thousand place digit, set all digits to the right of it to zero. This gives us \(561,390,000\).

Final Answer

The number \(561,389,243\) rounded to the nearest ten thousand is \(\boxed{561,390,000}\).
