566.5555555559: Round off the (terminating) decimal number to the nearest one (1 whole place)

566.5555555559 rounded to the nearest one (1 whole place) = ?

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.

Counting by units (1 whole place at a time), our number is sitting on the axis of numbers between two consecutive neighboring numbers:
566 < 566.5555555559 < 567


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: (566 + 567) ÷ 2 = 566.5


Our number, 566.5555555559, is larger than 566.5, so it is closer to the larger neighbor: 567


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


Rule of thumb:

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 6: 566.5555555559


In a positive number, if the digit to the right of the 'rounding digit' is equal to 5 and it is not the last digit that is different from zero, then the number is rounded to the larger neighbor.

The digit is 5: 566.5555555559 ≈ 567 rounded to the nearest one (1 whole place).


Or, even simpler.
In any number rounded to whole places, if the digit to the right of the 'rounding digit' is 5 (but it is not the last non-zero digit to the right) or more than 5, ie. 6, 7, 8 or 9, then increase the 'rounding digit' by 1 and replace all the digits to the right of it with zeros:

566.5555555559 ≈ 567 rounded to the nearest one (1 whole place)


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.


Number Round Half Up:

Numbers that are halfway between two neighbors are rounded off to the larger neighbor. 566.5555555559 is not halfway between its neighbors.
