If the number to the right of the place value, in which you are rounding to, is 4 or less, you round down. If the number to the right of the place value, in which you are rounding to, is 5 or more, you round down.

Examples:

  • 25 rounded to the nearest ten would be 30.
  • 261.57 rounded to the nearest one would be 262.00
  • 246.4 rounded to the nearest hundred would be 200.
