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, in this case, the hundreds place. 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
