Nearest 1

While rounding off a decimal fraction to the nearest one, if the digit in the tenths place is < 5 then the tenths place and the entire following place replace by 0. If the tenths place is equal to or > 5 then the digit in the ones place is increased by 1 and all digits after the decimal are reduced to 0.


For Example:

Round off to the nearest one (units place)

(i) 49.37 → 49.00

Since 3 < 5

(ii) 96.872 → 97.00

Since 8 > 5

(iii) 67.437 → 67.000

Since 4 < 5

(iv) 9.909 → 10.000

Since 9 > 5

(v) 490.651 → 491.000

Since 6 > 5

(vi) 2492.201 → 2492.000

Since 2 < 5

(vii) 67.737 → 68.000

Since 7 > 5

(viii) 423.27 → 423.00

Since 2 < 5

(ix) 5381.09 → 5381.00
