Rounding Calculator

Formula

The formula for rounding is more like a set of logical operators. For example, if you have a number, say 5.6, in the form \( x.y \), the logical operators are as follows:

If \( y \) is > 5, return \( X + 1 \)
If \( y \) is < 5, return \( X \)

Definition

Rounding in mathematics is approximating a number to a specified degree of accuracy. It involves adjusting a number to the nearest value that is easier to work with, such as a whole number, a specific decimal place, or a certain significant figure.

Example Calculation

Let's say you have the number 5.6. According to the rounding rules:

The number is in the form \( 5.6 \), where \( x = 5 \) and \( y = 6 \).
Since \( y > 5 \), we round up the number to \( X + 1 \).
Thus, 5.6 rounds to 6.
