That rounds down to 34.
Check the digit in the fourth position, which is a 9. This will cause a rounding up, giving 14.7500 as the answer.
When rounding 1286 to 2 significant figures, you must consider the first two non-zero digits from the left. In this case, those digits are 1 and 2. The digit to the right of 2 (8) is greater than 5, so you round up. Therefore, 1286 rounded to 2 significant figures is 1300.
To convert the number 0.004758 to three significant figures, we need to round it off appropriately. Identify the significant figures: The given number, 0.004758, has 5 significant figures. Determine the significant figures based on the three most significant digits: The three most significant digits in 0.004758 are 4, 7, and 5. Round the number: Look at the digit immediately after the third significant figure, which is 7. Since 7 is 5 or greater, we round up the third significant figure (5). Apply rounding: The number rounded to three significant figures is 0.00476. Therefore, 0.004758 rounded to three significant figures is **0.00476**.
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.
The answer depends on the data source. Exchange rates are usually accurate to 6 significant digits.
It's called 'rounding' - either up or down.
Keep the first three digits, replace the remaining digits with zero - rounding up or down as appropriate.
The measurement 1045 L rounded to two significant digits is 1000 L. When rounding, the first two significant digits are "10," and since the next digit (4) is less than 5, we do not round up. Therefore, the result is 1000 L.
When rounding a number, you look at the digit immediately to the right of the place you are rounding to. If that digit is 5 or greater, you round up by adding one to the digit in the rounding place. If it's less than 5, you leave the rounding place digit unchanged. All digits to the right of the rounding place become zero (if rounding to a whole number) or are dropped (if rounding to a decimal).
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
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).
After determining whether to round up or down, the digits, to the right of the place, are discarded.
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
When rounding 7000 to the nearest thousand, it remains 7000, as it is already a multiple of 1000. Rounding rules dictate that if the digit to the right of the place you are rounding to is 5 or greater, you round up, but since there are no additional digits in this case, it stays the same.
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.
3078 to three significant figures is 3080. When rounding to three significant figures, the digit in the hundreds place (0) remains the same, while the digits after it (7 and 8) are greater than 5 so it is rounded up.
When rounding 5.05 to two significant figures, we first identify the two most significant digits, which are the 5 and the 0. The digit following the last significant digit is 5, which is equal to or greater than 5, so we round the last significant digit up by 1. Therefore, 5.05 rounded to two significant figures is 5.1.
