Round Off Mathematics

If that digit is 4 3 2 or 1 simply drop all digits to the right of it.

Round off mathematics. A roundoff error also called rounding error is the difference between the result produced by a given algorithm using exact arithmetic and the result produced by the same algorithm using finite precision rounded arithmetic. Rounding means making a number simpler but keeping its value close to what it was. To do this simply look at the number to the right of the tens digit of the rounding number. If you re looking at 12 look at the number 2.

For example if only one decimal is to be kept then 6 6501 becomes 6 7. Challenging are the rounding exercises such as rounding range mixed rounding off rounding off to underlined digits and also stating which digits need to be underlined and rounding off the same number to the different place values. These rounding resources can evaluate the understanding of rounding numbers and decimals. In rounding off numbers if the first figure dropped is 5 and there are any figures following the five that are not zero then the last figure kept should be increased by 1.

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. For example if only two decimals are to be kept then 7 4852007 becomes 7 49. The result is less accurate but easier to use. Determine what your rounding digit is and look to the right side of it.

73 rounded to the nearest ten is 70 because 73 is closer to 70 than to 80. This is called rounding down. Rounding rules for decimal numbers. If the next smallest place value is greater than or equal to five 5 6 7 8 or 9 you increase the value of the digit you re rounding to by one 1.

Rounding errors are due to inexactness in the representation of real numbers and the arithmetic operations done with them. Rounding a number involves replacing the number with an approximation of the number that results in a shorter simpler or more explicit representation of said number based on specific rounding definitions. Round off a number to the nearest tens digit. Just like before any remaining digits before the decimal point become zeros and any that are after the decimal point are dropped.

For example if rounding the number 2 7 to the nearest integer 2 7 would be rounded to 3. This is called rounding up.
