Round to the Nearest Thousandth Examples

Example 1:

Round off the decimal 6.5457 to the nearest thousandth.

Solution:

Given decimal is 6.5457
Here the thousandth place value is 5
Now, take the next value into consideration (which is 4th digit after the decimal point) and follow the steps.
Here 4th digit is 7, this number is greater than 5, so we will add 1 to the thousandth digit.
6.5457 ⇒ 6.546
Hence, the number 6.5457 rounds to the nearest thousandth and becomes 6.546

Example 2:

Round 106.8324 to its nearest thousandth.

Given decimal is 106.8324
Here the thousandth place value is 2
Now, take the next value into consideration (which is 4th digit after the decimal point) and follow the steps.
Here 4th digit is 4, this number is less than 5, so we will remain the thousandth digit and remove all the digits next to the thousandth digit.
106.8324 ⇒ 106.832
Hence, the number 106.8324 rounds to its nearest thousandth and becomes 106.832
