We do rounding off when a number is not exact. Since numbers could have infinite decimals next to them, this is when rounding is applicable. In this worksheet, we will learn how to do rounding off to the nearest whole number.
What is Rounding?
Rounding off means making or converting a number to its simpler form. We do it by keeping its value closer to the next number. It is done for whole numbers, and for decimals at different place values of hundreds, thousands, etc.
What is a Whole Number?
A whole number is any number of positive integers including zero. The whole number does not contain any decimal or fractional part.
