Most times, you will be asked to round to a specific value: greatest, nearest, tenth hundredth, whole number, whatever.

Sometimes it is advantageous to express a value in round numbers. To round to a particular place, look at the digit immediately to the right of the one you want to round to. If that digit is 4, 3, 2, 1 or 0, zero it and everything to the right of it out. If that digit is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, increase your target digit by one and zero everything to the right of it out. If your target digit is 9, it will become a zero and increase the digit to the left of it by one.

How do you round 197.0853 to nearest tenth?

It depends on your rounding rules. The 'averaging rule' is this: 1) If the placement decimal value is 5 or higher, round up. 2) if the placement decimal value is 4 or lower, round down. For this rule, the above number will round to 197.1 If you use the 'truncation rule', you always drop ANY value at that point. For this rule, the above value will round to 197.0

What does it mean to round to the closest in math?

To "round" means that you slightly alter a number to bring it to a more even quantity. It is possible to round to any place value. If you were rounding to the nearest ten, anything greater than or equal to five but less than ten would round to ten and anything less than five but greater than zero would round to zero. This is a general rule that holds true regardless of place value.
