Less digits to work with. As an example, to multiply 4000 x 30,000, you only need to multiply 4 x 3, then attach all the zeros (7 zeros in this case) at the end. WITH A LITTLE BIT OF PRACTICE, YOU CAN DO THIS CALCULATION IN YOUR HEAD. However, if there are more significant digits (roughly speaking, non-zero digits), most people would need pencil and paper, or a calculator, to do such a calculation.

What does rounded up mean?
For cowboys, "rounded up" means "corralled." For mathematicians, "rounded up" means "estimated to a higher number that is shorter or easier to work with."
What are rounded numbers?
Rounding means making a number simpler but keeping its value close to what it was. The result is less accurate, but easier to use. 73.67532 can be rounded to 74.
How can you use what you know about dividing fractions and mixed numbers to estimate a quotient?
To estimate a quotient when dividing fractions and mixed numbers, first convert any mixed numbers into improper fractions. Then, simplify the fractions when possible, and round them to make the numbers easier to work with. Finally, perform the division using these simplified or rounded fractions to quickly gauge the estimated result. This approach helps you get a rough idea of the quotient without needing exact calculations.
