Rounding whole Numbers

Rounding whole Numbers

Rounding whole numbers is the process by which we make numbers look a little nicer. Numbers that look nice in our mind are numbers that usually end with a zero such as 10, 30, 200. Therefore, when rounding numbers, it usually means that you are going to try to put zero(s) at the end Numbers can be rounded to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand, ten-thousand, etc. Rounded numbers are only approximates; they never give exact answers when rounding to the nearest ten, if the last digit ends with 1, 2, 3, or 4, round to the next number that is smaller than the number given and ending with a zero. For instance, round 43 to the nearest ten.The last digit is 3, so the next number smaller than 43 with an ending of zero is 40 , On the other hand, If the last digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round to the next number bigger than the given number and ending with zero, For instance, round 45 to the nearest ten. The last digit is 5, so the next number bigger than 45 and ending with zero is 50Rounding to the nearest hundred, When rounding to the nearest hundred, you will need to look at the last two digits. If the last two digits is 49 or less round to the next number that is smaller than the number given and ending with two zeros. For instance, round 549 to the nearest hundred.The last two digits is 49, so the next number smaller than 549 with an ending of two zeros is 500, On the other hand, If the last two digits is 50 or more, round to the next number bigger than the given number and ending with two zeros.

I will use the term rounding digit - which means: When asked to round to the closest tens - your rounding digit is the second number to the left (ten's place) when working with whole numbers. When asked to round to the nearest hundred, the third place from the left is the rounding digit (hundreds place), Rule One. Determine what your rounding digit is and look to the right side of it. If the digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 do not change the rounding digit. All digits that are on the right hand side of the requested rounding digit will become 0, Rule Two. Determine what your rounding digit is and look to the right of it. If the digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, your rounding digit rounds up by one number. All digits that are on the right hand side of the requested rounding digit will become 0 , Rounding with decimals: When rounding numbers involving decimals, there are 2 rules to remember, Rule One Determine what your rounding digit is and look to the right side of it. If that digit is 4, 3, 2, or 1, simply drop all digits to the right of it , Rule Two Determine what your rounding digit is and look to the right side of it. If that digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 add one to the rounding digit and drop all digits to the right of it. Rule Three: Some teachers prefer this method: This rule provides more accuracy and is sometimes referred to as the 'Banker's Rule'. When the first digit dropped is 5 and there are no digits following or the digits following are zeros, make the preceding digit even (i.e. round off to the nearest even digit). E.g., 2.315 and 2.325 are both 2.32 when rounded off to the nearest hundredth. Note: The rationale for the third rule is that approximately half of the time the number will be rounded up and the other half of the time it will be rounded down.Rounding is the concept of makes the calculations easy as well as understanding is better for calculations .Rounding numbers not gives the values that is equal actual one but it will provide the approximate value of the actual value that helps the student for faster calculations and also provide the efficiency .Rounding to the nearest Tenth is the concept that is applied with the decimal numbers that are used for rounding the number just after one place after the decimal means place after the one digit of decimal is hundredth or thousandth place if the value of these places are 49 or less than 49 then the place after the decimal means tenth place will become unchanged and all the digits after one place of decimal will be discarded as we take some examples of rounding decimal number to the nearest tenth place as follows :Example (1): If there is a decimal number .546 then find rounded number to the nearest tenth place? When rounding to the nearest thousand, you will need to look at the last three digits. If the last three digits is 449 or less round to the next number that is smaller than the number given and ending with three zeros.For instance, round 2437 to the nearest hundred.The last three digits is 437, so the next number smaller than 2437 with an ending of three zeros is 2000,.
