3 digits after the decimal point so it is thousandths: 0.014 = 14/1000 = 7/500
Multiply the numbers without the decimal points.Count the total number of digits after the decimal point in the original numbers and put the decimal point into the answer so that there are the same number of digits after the decimal point.Examples:2.4 x 3.24do 24 x 324 = 7776 There is one digit in 2.4 and two in 3.24 after the decimal points making three digits in total, so insert the decimal point into the answer so that there are three digits after it: 7776 → 7.776⇒ 2.4 x 3.24 = 7.7762.5 x 3.26do 25 x 326 = 8150 There is one digit in 2.5 and two in 3.26 after the decimal points making three digits in total, so insert the decimal point into the answer so that there are three digits after it: 8150 → 8.150⇒ 2.5 x 3.26 = 8.152.5 x 0.02do 25 x 2 = 50 There is one digit in 2.5 and two in 0.02 after the decimal points making three digits in total, so insert the decimal point into the answer so that there are three digits after it: 50 → 0.050⇒ 2.5 x 0.02 = 0.05
Well, honey, if we're talking about rounding to the nearest hundred, any number below 450 or above 549 won't round to 500. So, pick a number, any number, as long as it's not in that range, and you've got yourself a winner that won't round to 500.
The first 3 significant digits of a number are the first 3 digits starting from the left ignoring any leading zeros. So 31456 = 31500 (3 significant digits) The 5 in the "56" rounds the 4 up.
It has only one significant digit, so it remains unchanged.
500
=ROUND(Number, Number of Digits) Number is the number you are trying to round. Number of Digits is the amount of digits you want to round it to. So for example: =ROUND(41.98662,3) That will give you 41.987 as the answer.
In the tens place is the digit 2, so we round down to get 500 as your answer.
501
It depends on what digits you consider "significant digits." I will assume you just want an integer; so, 197.
The 19 will round down, so the answer is 500.
500
It needs to be shortened to 2 digits, so it is:0.33
2 is in the tenths place, and the next digits is 5, so the 2 will round up:6.3
Well lets think about it - and maybe you can answer it yourself. 540 the two nearest 100's are 500 and 600. So 540 - 500 is 40 and 600 - 540 is 60. So which is the smallest difference? Correct 500.
To the nearest ten, we look at the figure in the ones position. It is a 6, so we round up, giving 570 as the answer.
Technically, it's closer to neither, but as a rule of rounding, if it's halfway, you round up, so you would round it to 500.
