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.
