Rounding numbers is the process of simplifying a number to a specific level of precision while keeping its value close to the original. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to round numbers:

1

. Identify the Place Value to Round To
- Determine the place value (e.g., tens, hundreds, tenths, hundredths) to which you want to round the number.
- For example, if you want to round 123.456 to the nearest tenth, the place value is the first digit after the decimal point (4 in this case).

2

. Look at the Digit to the Right
- Identify the digit immediately to the right of the place value you’re rounding to.
- For example, if rounding 123.456 to the nearest tenth, the digit to the right of the tenths place is 5 (the hundredths place).

3

. Apply the Rounding Rule
- If the digit to the right is 5 or greater, round the target digit up by 1.
- If the digit to the right is less than 5, leave the target digit unchanged.
- For example:
- Rounding 123.456 to the nearest tenth:
- The tenths digit is 4, and the digit to the right is 5.
- Since 5 is equal to 5, round the tenths digit up: 123.5.

4

. Drop All Digits to the Right
- After rounding, drop all digits to the right of the target place value.
- For example, rounding 123.456 to the nearest tenth gives 123.5.

Examples of Rounding

Example 1:

Round to the Nearest Whole Number
- Number: 47.8
- Target place value: ones place (7).
- Digit to the right: 8.
- Since 8 ≥ 5, round the ones place up: 48.

Example 2:

Round to the Nearest Hundred
- Number: 1,234
- Target place value: hundreds place (2).
- Digit to the right: 3.
- Since 3 < 5, leave the hundreds place unchanged: 1,200.

Example 3:

Round to the Nearest Thousandth
- Number: 0.5678
- Target place value: thousandths place (7).
- Digit to the right: 8.
- Since 8 ≥ 5, round the thousandths place up: 0.568.

Special Cases

1. Rounding Exactly 5:
- If the digit to the right is exactly 5, and there are no non-zero digits after it, round to the nearest even number (this is called "round half to even" or "banker's rounding").
- For example:
- Round 2.5 to the nearest whole number: 2 (since 2 is even).
- Round 3.5 to the nearest whole number: 4 (since 4 is even).

2. Rounding Negative Numbers:
- The same rules apply, but the direction of rounding depends on the sign. For example:
- Round -3.7 to the nearest whole number: -4.

Summary of Steps

1. Identify the place value to round to.
2. Look at the digit to the right of the target place value.
3. Apply the rounding rule (5 or greater → round up; less than 5 → leave unchanged).
4. Drop all digits to the right of the target place value.


By following these steps, you can round numbers accurately and confidently!
