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: 7.42111329298333 ≈ 7.421113292983339298333...

Our number is sitting on the axis of numbers between two 4 decimal place consecutive neighboring numbers:
7.4211 < 7.42111329298333 < 7.4212

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: (7.4211 + 7.4212) ÷ 2 = 7.42115

Our number, 7.42111329298333 ≈ 7.421113292983339298333..., is smaller than 7.42115, so it is closer to the smaller neighbor: 7.4211

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:

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 1: 7.421113292983339298333...

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 1: 7.421113292983339298333... ≈ 7.4211 rounded to the nearest ten thousandth (4 decimal places).

Or, even simpler.
In any number rounded to decimal 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 drop all the digits to the right of it:

7.421113292983339298333... ≈ 7.4211 rounded to the nearest ten thousandth (4 decimal places)

How to round off numbers?

1. Rounding off numbers: definition.

Rounding a number means replacing it by another value that is 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.

2. How to round off a number to whole places?

Identify the place value of the digit to be rounded - this is called the rounding digit.
Identify the next digit to the right of the rounding digit, if there is any:
- If there is no other digit to the right, then the number is not changing, it stays the same.
- Rounding down. If there is a digit to the right of the rounding digit and this digit is less than 5 (ie: 0 to 4), then leave the rounding digit as it is and replace all the digits to the right of it with zeros. This is called rounding down.
- Rounding up. If there is a digit to the right of the rounding digit and this digit is 5 or more (ie: 5 to 9), then increase the rounding digit by 1 and replace all the digits to the right of it with zeros. This is called rounding up.
>> See in the article how to round off numbers to whole places, plus examples

3. How to round off a number to decimal places?

Identify the place value of the digit to be rounded - this is called the rounding digit and it is the last digit to keep.
Identify the next digit to the right of the rounding digit, if there is any:
- If there is no other digit to the right, then the number is not changing, it stays the same.
- Rounding down. If there is a digit to the right of the rounding digit and this digit is less than 5 (ie: 0 to 4), then leave the rounding digit as it is and drop all the decimal digits to the right of it. This is called rounding down.
- Rounding up. If there is a digit to the right of the rounding digit and this digit is 5 or more (ie: 5 to 9), then increase the rounding digit by 1 and drop all the decimal digits to the right of it. This is called rounding up.
