Rounding to a specified power is very different from rounding to a specified multiple; for example, it is common in computing to need to round a number to a whole power of 2. The steps, in general, to round a positive number x to a power of some positive number b other than 1, are:
|-N (where -N is a negative number) replaces N digits before the decimal mark with zero (round output to nearest 10 N). |sigfig=N (where N is a positive number) to specify the number of significant digits (round output to N significant figures). |round=5 to round the output to the nearest multiple of 5. The round value can be 0.5, 5, 10, 25 or ...
Prices are rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 cents for sales ending in 1¢ & 2¢ (rounded to 0¢) and 6¢ & 7¢ (rounded to 5¢). Prices are rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5 cents for sales ending in 3¢ & 4¢ (round to 5¢) and 8¢ & 9¢ (round to 10¢). Values ending in 0¢ or 5¢ remain unchanged.
Round-to-nearest: () is set to the nearest floating-point number to . When there is a tie, the floating-point number whose last stored digit is even (also, the last digit, in binary form, is equal to 0) is used. For IEEE standard where the base is , this means when there is a tie it is rounded so that the last digit is equal to .
To round a number to its nearest order of magnitude, one rounds its logarithm to the nearest integer. Thus 4 000 000, which has a logarithm (in base 10) of 6.602, has 7 as its nearest order of magnitude, because "nearest" implies rounding rather than truncation. For a number written in scientific notation, this logarithmic rounding scale ...
Seed oils, including peanut oil and sunflower oil, have been in the news a lot recently. Dietitians explain if seed oils are healthy, and health risks of them.
Mathematically, an apportionment method is just a method of rounding real numbers to natural numbers. Despite the simplicity of this problem, every method of rounding suffers one or more paradoxes, as proven by the Balinski-Young theorem. The mathematical theory of apportionment identifies what properties can be expected from an apportionment ...
November 23, 2024 at 4:03 PM. Montrell Johnson Jr.'s 5-yard touchdown run with 7:40 remaining in the fourth quarter gave Florida a 24-17 win over No. 9 Ole Miss on Saturday in Gainesville.
