Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the exact sum

First, compute the exact sum of \(198 + 259\): \[ 198 + 259 = 457 \]

Step 2: Compare the exact sum with 500

Now, compare the exact sum \(457\) with \(500\): \[ 457 < 500 \]

Since \(457\) is less than \(500\), \(500\) is an overestimate for the sum \(198 + 259\).

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{OVER}} \]
