The last digit, 6, determines its precision. 234.896 is presumed to be accurate to the nearest thousandth. If any other digit defined its precision, it would be pointless to write the others.

For example, if we were told that 234.896 is only precise to the tens digit, it would suffice to write 230 because any additional digits would be meaningless.
