When the last digit of a significant digit is 5 and we need to round it, we follow a rule called "round half up". This means that we round the digit up to the nearest number if the digit before it is odd, and round down if it's even. For example, 2.5 would round up to 3, while 3.5 would also round up to 4.
If the previous digit is 5 or more then round up but if the previous digit is less than 5 then round down.
Look at the tens digit. If it is 5 or more, round up. If it is 4 or less, round down. Examples: 83 - tens digit is more than five, round up to 100 447 - tens digit is 4 or less, round down to 400 1053 - tens digit is 5 or more, round up to 1100 650 - tens digit is 5 or more, round up to 700 649.999 - tens digit is 4 or less, round down to 600
To round 5555 to the nearest hundred, look at the tens digit (5 in this case). If the tens digit is 5 or greater, round up to the next hundred. If the tens digit is 4 or less, round down to the previous hundred. In this case, the tens digit is 5, so you would round up to 5600.
To round a number look at the next digit in the right place, if the digit is less than 5, round down and if the digit is 5 or more than 5, round up.
If the end digit is 1, 2, 3 or 4 you round down. If the end digit is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 then you round up. If the end digit is 0 it is already rounded.
To round 28.26 to the nearest tenth, you would look at the hundredth place, which is the second decimal place. Since the digit in the hundredth place is 6, which is greater than or equal to 5, you would round up the digit in the tenths place. Therefore, 28.26 rounded to the nearest tenth is 28.3.
240
To round to the nearest integer, look at the first digit after the decimal point (the tenths digit): if it is less than 5 round down otherwise round up. The tenths digit of 4.8 is 8, so round up thus 4.8 → 5 when rounded to the nearest integer.
When the digit immediately to the right of it is 0-4 round down. If it is 5-9 round up.
If the last digit is a 5-9 you round up. Ex: 585 go up to 590. If the last digit is 1-4 you round down ex: 584 go down to 580
There are certain rules to follow when rounding a decimal number. Put simply, if the last digit is less than 5, round the previous digit down. However, if it's 5 or more than you should round the previous digit up. So, if the number you are about to round is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 round the number up.
