How To Round Numbers?

Identify the place value you want to round to

Look at the digit immediately to the right of that place

If that digit is 5 or more, increase the target digit by 1

If that digit is less than 5, keep the target digit the same

Replace all digits to the right of the target place with zeros for whole numbers

Replace all digits to the right of the target place with zeros or remove them for decimals, depending on the rounding place

Check the result to make sure it is close to the original number

Use standard rounding rules consistently
