Imagine that this is during a flash sale, and you don&#8217;t have the exact change. In such a scenario, you can pay $50 and get $\\$$2 back. Here, we rounded off the number 48 to the nearest multiple of 10 to make our problem easier. This is called rounding. We can round a whole number to the nearest multiple of 10 to make our calculations easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recommended-games-container-id\" class=\"recommended-games-container\"><h4

round to the nearest whole number<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We can follow these step-by-step processes for rounding to the nearest whole number:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-round-to-the-nearest-ten-\"><strong>Round to the Nearest Ten<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 1<\/strong>:&nbsp; We identify the previous and next multiple of 10 for the given number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 2<\/strong>:&nbsp; We identify the rounding digit. The rounding digit is the digit at the same place to which we are doing the rounding off. When rounding to the nearest multiple of ten, the digit at the tens place in the given number is the rounding digit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 3<\/strong>: If the digit to the right of the rounding digit is less than 5, we round down to the previous multiple of 10. If the digit to the right of the rounding digit is greater than or equal to 5, we round up to the next multiple of 10.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Example: Let\u2019s round a whole number, 48 to the nearest ten.<br><br><strong>Step 1<\/strong>:&nbsp; Identify the previous and next multiple of 10. 48 lies between 40 and 50. So,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Previous multiple of $10 = 40$.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Next multiple of $10 = 50$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 2<\/strong>:&nbsp; We identify the rounding digit. When rounding to the nearest multiple of ten, the digit at the tens place in the given number is the rounding digit. 48 has 4 in the tens place so,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Rounding digit $= 4$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 3<\/strong>: Look at the digit that is immediately next to the rounding digit. Here, in 48, it is 8. And 8 is greater than 5, so we will round up. Therefore, 48 rounds to its next multiple of 10, which is 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We write this as 48 ~ 50. Where the \u201c~\u201d symbol denotes rounding or approximation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We follow a similar process while rounding a number to the nearest hundred or thousands.<br><br>For example, let\u2019s round off 5432 to the nearest hundreds and thousand.<br><br><strong>Rounding to the nearest hundred: <\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Identify the previous and next multiple of 100 for the given number.<br><br>For 5432, the previous multiple of 100 is 5400 and the next multiple of 100 is 5500.<br><br><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Identify the rounding digit.<br><br>Since we are rounding off to the nearest hundred, the rounding digit will be the digit in the hundreds place. In the case of 5432, the digit in the hundreds place is 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 3<\/strong>: If the digit to the right of the rounding digit is less than 5, we round down to the previous multiple of 10. If the digit to the right of the rounding digit is greater than or equal to 5, we round up to the next multiple.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For 5432, the rounding digit is 4 and the digit to its immediate right is 3. Since 3 is less than 5, we will round down. Therefore, 5432 rounded off to the nearest hundred is 5400.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Rounding to the nearest thousand: <\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Identify the previous and next multiple of 1000 for the given number.<br><br>For 5432, the previous multiple of 1000 is 5000 and the next multiple of 100 is 6000.<br><br><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Identify the rounding digit.<br><br>Since we are rounding off to the nearest thousand, the rounding digit will be the digit in the thousands place. In the case of 5432, the digit in the thousands place is 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 3<\/strong>: If the digit to the right of the rounding digit is less than 5, we round down to the previous multiple of 10. If the digit to the right of the rounding digit is greater than or equal to 5, we round up to the next multiple.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For 5432, the rounding digit is 5 and the digit to its immediate right is 4. Since 4 is less than 5 so we will round down. Therefore, 5432 rounded off to the nearest thousand is 5000.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"4-solved-examples\">Solved Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"5-example-1-there-are-876-fish-in-a-pond-round-the-number-of-fish-to-the-nearest-ten-\"><strong>Example 1: There are 876 fish in a pond.
