Explanation:

To round any number, find the target accuracy column and draw a vertical cut-off line immediately to its right. Look at the decider digit just after the line: if it is 5 or more (5, 6, 7, 8, 9), round the target digit up by 1; if it is 4 or less (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), keep the target digit the same.

For decimal places (d.p.), count digits after the decimal point. For significant figures (s.f.), start counting from the very first non-zero digit on the left, and use placeholder zeros for whole numbers if needed to keep the place value.

Example 1: Round 64 839 to:
(a) the nearest 100 (b) 2 significant figures

Solution:

(a) Hundreds digit is 8: 64 8 | 39

• Decider digit is 3 (< 5), so 8 stays 8 → 64 800

(b) 2nd s.f. is 4 (thousands): 64 | 839

• Decider is 8 (≥ 5), round 4 up to 5 and fill zeros → 65 000

Answers: (a) 64 800 (b) 65 000

Example 2: Round 0.07854 to:
(a) 2 decimal places (b) 2 significant figures

Solution:

(a) 2nd digit after point is 7: 0.07 | 854

• Decider is 8 (≥ 5), so 7 rounds up to 8 → 0.08

(b) First non-zero digit is 7, so 2nd s.f. is 8: 0.078 | 54

• Decider is 5 (≥ 5), so 8 rounds up to 9 → 0.079

Answers: (a) 0.08 (b) 0.079
