Rounding : Rounding is the operation of changing a number to a number that is close to the original number. Rounded numbers are often used to do quick rough calculations for estimation purposes. For example rounding $4549$ to the nearest thousand results in 5000, rounding the same number to the nearest hundred results in 4500. In general one rounds up if the digit after the digit we try to round to is 5 or more, otherwise one rounds down.
