1000000 rounded to the nearest integer is
2102
This is because
The numbers are written in base 3/2.
As a result,
10000 = $(3/2)^4$ = 81/16. This rounds to 5, which in base 3/2 is 22.
20000 = $2(3/2)^4$ = 162/16. This rounds to 10, which in base 3/2 is 2101.
100000 = $(3/2)^5$ = 243/32. This rounds to 8, which in base 3/2 is 212.
200000 = $2(3/2)^5$ = 486/32. This rounds to 15, which in base 3/2 is 21010.
1000000 = $(3/2)^6$ = 729/64. This rounds to 11, which in base 3/2 is 2102.
