  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_epsilon

    This alternative definition is significantly more widespread: machine epsilon is the difference between 1 and the next larger floating point number.This definition is used in language constants in Ada, C, C++, Fortran, MATLAB, Mathematica, Octave, Pascal, Python and Rust etc., and defined in textbooks like «Numerical Recipes» by Press et al.

    Rounds (parameter 1) by (parameter 2) decimal places, and formats. Scientific notation is used for numbers greater than 1×10^9, or less than 1×10^−4. Template parameters [Edit template data] Parameter Description Type Status number 1 The number to be rounded Number required decimal places 2 The number of decimal places, if negative the number is rounded so the last (parameter 2) digits are ...

  5. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    [nb 2] For instance rounding 9.46 to one decimal gives 9.5, and then 10 when rounding to integer using rounding half to even, but would give 9 when rounded to integer directly. Borman and Chatfield [15] discuss the implications of double rounding when comparing data rounded to one decimal place to specification limits expressed using integers.

  6. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    There are two common rounding rules, round-by-chop and round-to-nearest. The IEEE standard uses round-to-nearest. Round-by-chop: The base-expansion of is truncated after the ()-th digit. This rounding rule is biased because it always moves the result toward zero.

  7. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    For example, to round 1.25 to 2 significant figures: Round half away from zero rounds up to 1.3. This is the default rounding method implied in many disciplines [citation needed] if the required rounding method is not specified. Round half to even, which rounds to the nearest even number. With this method, 1.25 is rounded down to 1.2.
