Rounding Rules!

Rounding: your goal is to round to the nearest digit so all digits following it are  zero.

The target digit is the digit you are aiming to round.  When rounding all the numbers after the target become zero.

For numbers 5 and greater you round the number up. So the target digit goes up one.

4 and less you round the number down. The target digit stays the same.

Let's work with the number

2371

Round to the nearest 1000

The next number is a three so the two stays as it is. And is followed by three zeros. 2000

To the nearest hundred

The two stays

The three becomes and 4 because 7 is 5 or greater.

The 7 and the one become zeros.
