A fair was attended by 834,009 people

Rounding up this number of people to nearest ten thousand.

9 has a 'ones' value

Going to the right from left:

Second last zero has a 'tens' value.

Third from last zero has a 'thousands' value

4 has 'ten thousands' value

Round up 4 and because it is less than five it converts to zero

This gives an answer of 830,000.
