The problem asks for the best estimate for the multiplication of 872 × 476. Let's round each number to a value that makes estimation simpler:

- 872 rounds to 900
- 476 rounds to 500

Now, multiply the rounded numbers:

\[
900 \times 500 = 450,000
\]

Thus, the best estimate is **450,000**, which corresponds to option **C**.

Here are 5 follow-up questions to consider:
1. How do you decide which numbers to round to for a quick estimate?
2. What is the exact product of 872 × 476 without rounding?
3. Why is estimating useful in multiplication problems?
4. Can you think of other methods for estimating multiplication problems?
5. What is the error margin between the estimate and the exact answer?

**Tip:** When estimating, round numbers to the nearest values that make multiplication easier (like multiples of 10 or 100).
