What is 1 digit accuracy?
That's the same as rounding to the greatest place. 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 second greatest 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.
How do you round numbers to the greatest place value?
To round numbers to the greatest place value, you first identify the target place value you want to round to. Then, you look at the digit to the right of the target place value. If that digit is 5 or greater, you round up by adding 1 to the target place value. If the digit is less than 5, you leave the target place value as it is. Finally, replace all digits to the right of the target place value with zeros.
How do you round 0.4723 to the nearest non-zero place?

My daughter's math homework is to round to the greatest nonzero place. Example 2.814 What is the nonzero place?
What this means is to round to the biggest digit that is not zero (the one furthest to the left that is not zero). So: 2.814 would round up to 3 because the greatest nonzero digit is the two and the digit to the right of that (the 8) is between 5 & 9. Some more examples of rounding to the greatest nonzero place: 0.00080472 ≈ 0.0008 0.330921 ≈ 0.3 (It rounds down as the number to the right of the 3 is between 0 & 4) 9.1 ≈ 9 5.942 ≈ 6
