How to round up numbers

Rounding up is done by replacing a number by another value that is approximately equal but has a shorter, simpler or more explicit representation. For example, 39.69 replaced as 39.70. This is done to obtain a number that is easier to communicate than the original. It’s also used to avoid errors for example instead of 234 say around 230. To some extent, this method initiates errors in calculations. To round off decimals, find the place value of the rounding digit and look the digit right of the digit, if it is less than 5, do not change the rounding digit but drop all digits to the right of it. If that digit is more or equal to 5, add one to the rounding digit and drop all digits to the right of it. To round off whole numbers, find the place value of the rounding digit and look at the digit just to the right of it. if the digit is less than 5,do not change the rounding digit but change  all the digits to the right of the rounding digit to zero. If the digit is greater than or equal to 5, add one to the rounding digit and change all the digits to the right of the rounding digit to zero.
