Some basic guidelines for rounding number

There are some basic steps to follow while “rounding a number to closest ______”. And no matter what you put in that blank space, these steps will always remain the same.

  1. First we need to identify the place value we are rounding to Smaller place values will give us the most accurate final result.
  2. Now we’ll look for the next smallest place value. It is the digit on the right side of the place value we’re rounding to.
  3. Now, we’ll see if the digit in our next smallest place value is greater than or equal to 5. If it is smaller than 5 then there will be no change in the digit we want to round off.  Also, the digits after the smallest place value will be dropped. This kind of round off is called rounding down.
  4. If the digit in our next smallest place value is greater than 5, we’ll add +1 in the digit we want to round off. All the digits before the decimal point will be dropped. This type of round off is called rounding up.

  5. There is also a special case in rounding. This occurs when the next smallest place value is 5. In this case, rounding occurs while considering even and odd cases. Let’s say we want to round off 98.735.
