∙ 7y agoThe digit to the right of the digit to which you are rounding is the one that helps you decide.
The digit immediately to the right of the one you are rounding to.
The digit immediately to the right of your target.
When rounding to a specific place, take a look at the digit immediately to the right of the target. If that digit is 4 or less, zero everything to the right of the target out. If that digit is 5 through 9, increase the target by one and zero everything to the right of it out. If the target is a 9, increasing it will turn it to zero and increase the digit to the left of the target by one.
The key to rounding any number to the nearest ten does not use the decimals at all. In fact, you only need to check the digit in the ones place. If the number in the ones digit is below 4, then round down. If the number in the ones digit is 5 or larger, round up. Some Examples: 563 ---> 560 - The ones digit is a three, you round down 27 ---> 30 - The ones digit is above five, you round up 145 ---> 150 - The ones digit is a five, you round up 890 ---> 890 - The ones digit is a zero, you do nothing because it is already a ten.

If I think your asking the question how I think your asking it, then any number 5 and above you round up. If its below 5 you round down. :-)

if you have a number with a five as the last digit you round up.
When the last digit of a significant digit is 5 and we need to round it, we follow a rule called "round half up". This means that we round the digit up to the nearest number if the digit before it is odd, and round down if it's even. For example, 2.5 would round up to 3, while 3.5 would also round up to 4.

A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. So, a decimal number will always round to a decimal number.
999 - 1000
You look at the third digit and use that to decide whether to round up. As it is zero, there is no effect, so it is 118.38 when rounded.
