Round to decimals
When rounding to decimals, the next digit is considered:
- 0 to 4 → round down
- 5 to 9 → round up
This is the most commonly used rounding method.
Round up or down
- Rounding up (ceiling): the number is always increased to the nearest whole number
- Rounding down (floor): the number is always lowered
These methods are often used in planning, inventory calculation, and time units.
Example
Number: 7.83
- Rounded to 1 decimal place → 7.8
