Rules for Rounding Numbers

Here's the general rule for rounding:

• If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round the number up. Example: 38 rounded to the nearest ten is 401
• If the number you are rounding is followed by 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, round the number down. Example: 33 rounded to the nearest ten is 30

When rounding a number, you first need to ask: what are you rounding it to? Numbers can be rounded to the nearest ten, the nearest hundred, the nearest thousand, and so on.

Consider the number 4,827.

• 4,827 rounded to the nearest ten is 4,830
• 4,827 rounded to the nearest hundred is 4,800
• 4,827 rounded to the nearest thousand is 5,000

.

All the numbers to the right of the place you are rounding to become zeros. Here are some more examples:

• 34 rounded to the nearest ten is 30
• 6,809 rounded to the nearest hundred is 6,800
• 1,951 rounded to the nearest thousand is 2,000
