0.3333333333 (3's forever) rounded to the nearest thousand:

0.3333333333 = 0000.33333333333

The left-most 0 is in the thousands place.  The next digit over is the 0 in the hundreds place.  Because that digit (0) is less than 5, the 0 in the thousands place does not round up to 1.  We have a 1 in the thousands place and everything to the right of that just becomes 0s.

Result:  0000.333333333 becomes 0000.00000000 or just 0.

Answer:  0

.

If you meant "round to the nearest thousandth," then:

0.33333333 (3's forever)

Counting from the left, the third 3 is in the thousandths place.  One digit to the right, in the ten-thousandths place, is another 3.  Because that digit (3) is less than 5, the 3 in the thousandths place does not round up to 4.

Answer:  0.333

Rounded to the nearest thousandth would be 0.333

The thousandths place is the third digit to the right of the decimal... Tenths, hundredths, thousandths
