What is rounding off?

• Rounding off means a number is made simpler by keeping its value entire but closer to the next number.
• It is done for whole numbers and for decimals.
• If the next digit is less than 5 (this is called rounding down) .
• If the next digit is 5 or more (this is called rounding up)

Examples of Rounding down :

• 73 = 70
• 24 = 20
• 52 = 50

Examples of Rounding up :

• 89 = 90
• 77 = 80
• 29 = 30
