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 thousandths 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.

If your number is, say, 43.5809. You would take the third number (the hundredth place) after the decimal, and change it by 0.001 if the next number (thousandths place) is equal to or greater than five, if it is not equal or greater but is lesser than, keep it in its place and just remove every number after the hundredths place. Hoped this helped! :)
