Numbers to the left of the decimal are WHOLE numbers starting the 1's place (units), 10's, 100's, etc.

The problem asks to round 436.93847 to the nearest thousandth.
Starting from the decimal, find the 1000th's place. The number in the 1000th's place is 8. The number to the immediate right of 8 is 4. Since 4 is less than 5, the 8 will remain the same. All other numbers will drop off. If the number was greater than 5, you would need to round 8 up to 9.

436.93847
= 436.938
