5590000 To do this you must understand place value and how to round. Start by looking at the units. If the units is 5 or above round the tens digit up. If the new tens digit is 5 or above, round the hundreds digit up. If they are 4 or below leave the digit. For example. Look at the units. The number is 5 so you round the tens up. I will show you this step by step until the ten thousands. 5587885 = 5587890 Round tens 5587890 = 5587900 Round hundreds 5587900 = 5588000 Round thousands 5588000 = 5590000 Round ten thousands
To round you first need to take only the numbers at place value greater or equal to the place you intend to round to. In this case, 243.37 The next step is to look at the next place value on and figure out if we need to round up or not. If it is a 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 we need to round up. Otherwise, we can leave the answer as it is. In this case, the next digit is a 5, so we need to round up. Thus 243.3752 when rounded to the nearest hundredth is 243.38
To round a number to 2 significant figures, you first need to look at the first two digits. In this case that is 3.5. The next step is to look at the third digit and assess if we need to round up. If the digit is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 you round up. Otherwise you leave the figures as they are (round down). In this case the third digit is 8, and so we do need to round up. Thus 3.582 rounded to 2 significant figures is 3.6
8.7 Since you want to round to the nearest whole number, add 0.5 to 8.7 and you 0.5 get 9.2 and now truncate everything but the whole number and the answer is 9 ___ 9.2 ___ ' + An alternative which cuts out a step, is to round down if the decimal part is less than 0.5, round up if 5 and above.
In order to round to the nearest whole number you first have to consider only digits at place value units or greater. In this case, that would just be 0. The next step is to consider the tenths digit. If it is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 you round up. Otherwise, you leave it as it is (round down). In this case the tenths digit is 8, so you round up. Thus, 0.826 rounded to the nearest whole number is 1.
