2.066688776: Round off the mixed repeating (recurring) decimal number to the nearest ten (2 whole places)

2.066688776 rounded to the nearest ten (2 whole places) = ?

How is the number rounded off? Half Up, Half Down, Half Away From Zero, Half Towards Zero, Half to Even, Half to Odd. To Ceiling, To Floor.

Rounding a number means replacing it with a simpler, shorter approximation, while keeping its value close to the initial one. The rounded number will be less accurate, but easier to work with.

How is the number rounded off? Explanation.

A repeating decimal has a number of decimals that repeat over and over again, infinitely: 2.066688776 ≈ 2.0666887768877688776...


Counting by tens (2 whole places at a time), our number is sitting on the axis of numbers between two consecutive neighboring numbers:
0 < 2.066688776 < 10


Our number is to be rounded off to one of these neighbors, the closer one.


The middle of this interval, the number that is equally close to the either neighbor, is: (0 + 10) ÷ 2 = 5


Our number, 2.066688776 ≈ 2.0666887768877688776..., is smaller than 5, so it is closer to the smaller neighbor: 0


Except for 'To Ceiling, To Floor', the rounded off number (both the positive and the negative) will be equal only to this smaller neighbor.


Rule of thumb:

Note: Because the number does not have enough whole digits, we add zeros to its left, up to the rounding position place. The number value is not changing.


Rounding digit. Let's call the digit of the position place that is intended to round off to as the 'rounding digit'. The digit is 0: 02.0666887768877688776...

In a positive number, if the digit to the right of the 'rounding digit' is smaller than 5, then the number is rounded to the smaller neighbor.

The digit is 2: 02.0666887768877688776... ≈ 0 rounded to the nearest ten (2 whole places).


Or, even simpler.
In any number rounded to whole places, if the digit to the right of the 'rounding digit' is less than 5 (0 to 4), then leave the 'rounding digit' as it is and replace all the digits to the right of it with zeros:

02.0666887768877688776... ≈ 0 rounded to the nearest ten (2 whole places)


Below we round off both the positive and the negative:

Half Up, Half Down, Half Away From Zero, Half Towards Zero, Half to Even, Half to Odd. To Ceiling, To Floor.
