    Do I only look at the digit one to the right of it, or all of it?

    Look only at the digit immediately to the right of the place value to which you are rounding. For example, if you want to round 8.13 to the nearest tenth, look at the digit in the hundredth place. Since that digit is 3, round down to 8.1.

    It depends on to which place you want to round. If you want to round to the nearest hundredth, look at the digit in the thousandths place. Since that digit is 6, round up to 999.96. However, if you want to round to the nearest one, look at the 9 in the tenths place, and round up to 1,000.
  • Question
    How would I round up 5.899?
    Community Answer
    It depends on how many places you want to round to. If you're rounding to the nearest whole number, it's 6. If you're rounding to the nearest tenth, it's 5.9. If you're rounding to the nearest hundredth, it's 5.90. (5.9 and 5.90 are not precisely the same number.)

    This would be 3.4567. Since the 3 is not 5 or more, it doesn’t change the 7.
