How do you round 14.74999 to three digits?
Check the digit in the fourth position, which is a 9. This will cause a rounding up, giving 14.7500 as the answer.
23.45 rounded to the nearest tenth?
23.5
How do you round a number to the nearest thousand?
If the last three digits of any number are equal to or greater than 500, then you round up to the nearest 1000. For example, the number 2573 rounds up to 3000. If the last three digits of any number are equal to or less than 499, then you round down to the nearest 1000. For example, the number 2473 rounds down to 2000. This assumes you are 'rounding up' which is the usual meaning of 'rounding'
Is the currency data type accurate up to 4 digits on the right side of the decimal point?
The answer depends on the data source. Exchange rates are usually accurate to 6 significant digits.
When rounding 879 which number helps decide whether to round up or down?
It depends on what you are rounding to. If rounding to the nearest ten, the 9 at the end decides which way to round it, and being a 9, it rounds up. If rounding to the nearest hundred, it was is the 7. If rounding up to the nearest thousand, it is the 8.
What is 990.880 written in 3 significant figures?
Keep the first three digits, replace the remaining digits with zero - rounding up or down as appropriate.
What it is called reducing the number of digits in a number by eliminating one or more significant digits on the right is termed?
It's called 'rounding' - either up or down.
When you estimate do you round to the nearest ten or hundred?
For a quick estimate, you would usually round to one, sometimes to two, significant digits. One significant digit means discarding all digits after the first, i.e., converting them to zero (and rounding the remaining digit up or down as appropriate).
In rounding numbers to the nearest whole number would 49.85 be rounded to 50 or 51?
It would be 50. In rounding up, we add one and truncate the digits after the decimal point. In rounding down, we just truncate the digits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding#Common_method
When you round a number what should you do with the digits to the right of the place you are rounding to?
After determining whether to round up or down, the digits, to the right of the place, are discarded.
Are The number of significant digits in a double variable is up to 15?
The maximum number of significant digits in value belonging to the double type is 15. The maximum number of significant digits is called the precision.
What is a rounding digit?
Rounding numbers means adjusting the digits (up or down) to make rough calculations easier. The result will be an estimated answer rather than a precise one
Round 31456 to 3 significant digits?
The first 3 significant digits of a number are the first 3 digits starting from the left ignoring any leading zeros. So 31456 = 31500 (3 significant digits) The 5 in the "56" rounds the 4 up.
How many significant figures are ther in 1.10030?
The number of significant figures in a number is equal to the number of digits to the left of the decimal point up to the first leading zero. It is then added to the number of total digits to the right of the decimal point. In this case, there are six significant digits.
How do you round 14.74999 to three digits?
Check the digit in the fourth position, which is a 9. This will cause a rounding up, giving 14.7500 as the answer.
What is rounding out numbers?
Expressing the answer as a round number, instead of giving an exact answer, which may contain several digits irrelevant to the need for the answer. Most often assumes that extraneous digits 01-49 round down, and 50-99 round up; but in practice, what is often needed is an estimate of 'how many is needed,' and rounding up even an 01 might be assumed.
What is the Speed of light in 2 significant figures?
The speed of light in vacuum is defined to be exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. Exact quantities have an infinite amount of significant digits. To reduce the expression to 2 significant digits, we take only the first two digits starting at the leftmost digit as accurate and round the quantity represented by the first 2 digits in their place value up if the third digit is greater than 5 or down if the third digit is less than 5. The reason for doing this is that we want the result to be the closest number of the two possible choices to the original value. For this reason, if the third digit is 5, consider the value of the fourth digit instead, as this will tell you whether rounding up or rounding down will give you the closest number. If the fourth digit and all the rest of the digits are 0, then both rounding up and rounding down are the same distance from the original number, and it is up to your local convention which one you choose to do. For this number, the first two digits, keeping their place value, gives us the number 290,000,000 meters per second. The third digit in the original number is 9, so we round 290,000,000 up to 300,000,000 meters per second. It is difficult to tell how many digits are significant in standard notation, so most publications use scientific notation. We would write it as 3.0x10^8 meters per second instead, where we explicitly write 2 significant digits including the significant 0 as the multiple of 10^8.
