What is rounding?

Rounding is the process of approximating a number to a specific value based on a predetermined rule. This involves adjusting the given number up or down to the nearest value that is easier to work with, such as a whole number, a certain decimal place, or a particular significant figure. Rounding helps simplify calculations and make numbers more manageable for practical purposes.

How is a number rounded to the nearest ten?

To round a number to the nearest ten, you look at the digit in the ones place. If that digit is 5 or greater, you round up to the next higher ten. If it is 4 or lower, you round down to the lower ten. For example, rounding 37 to the nearest ten would be 40, and rounding 63 would also be 60.

How is a number rounded to the nearest hundred?

To round a number to the nearest hundred, you look at the digit in the tens place. If it is 5 or greater, you round up by increasing the digit in the hundreds place by one. If it is less than 5, you leave the digit in the hundreds place unchanged. All digits to the right of the hundreds place become zeros.

How is a number rounded to the nearest thousand?

To round a number to the nearest thousand, you look at the hundreds place. If the hundreds digit is 5 or greater, you round up by increasing the thousands digit by 1. If the hundreds digit is less than 5, you keep the thousands digit the same and change all digits after the thousands place to zero.

How is a number rounded to the nearest tenth?

To round a number to the nearest tenth, look at the digit in the hundredths place. If it is 5 or above, round up; if it is less than 5, round down. Replace all digits to the right of the tenths place with zeros.

How is a number rounded to the nearest hundredth?

To round a number to the nearest hundredth, you would look at the third digit after the decimal point. If that digit is 5 or above, you would round up the second digit after the decimal point. If the third digit is 4 or below, you would keep the second digit as it is.

How is a number rounded to the nearest thousandth?

A number is rounded to the nearest thousandth by looking at the fourth decimal place. If the digit in the fourth decimal place is 5 or greater, then the number is rounded up; if it is less than 5, then the number is rounded down. For example, if you have 5.6789, when rounded to the nearest thousandth, it becomes 5.679.

How is a number rounded using the "round up" method?

When rounding a number using the "round up" method, you look at the digit directly to the right of the desired decimal place for the rounded value. If this digit is 5 or greater, you increase the digit at the desired decimal place by 1 and discard all digits to the right. If the digit is less than 5, you simply discard all digits to the right without changing the desired decimal place value.

How is a number rounded using the "round down" method?

When a number is rounded down, the decimal part is simply removed, and the number is left as an integer or a number with no decimal places. For example, the number 6.8 rounded down using this method would be 6, and the number 3.2 would also be rounded down to 3. This method essentially approximates the number downwards and does not consider the decimal values.

How is the digit to be rounded determined when rounding a number with decimals?

The digit to be rounded is determined by looking at the next digit to the right of the desired decimal place. If this digit is 5 or greater, the digit being rounded will increase by 1. If the next digit is 4 or less, the digit being rounded remains the same.
