What is the Nearest Integer?

The nearest integer of a decimal number is the value of that number once it has been rounded to the nearest counting number (a number without decimals or fractional parts, such as -1,0,1,2, …) depending on the value of the first digit (the tenths place located to the right of the decimal separator).

Frequently Asked Questions

How to round to the nearest integer?

If the value of the first digit place is less than five, simply remove the decimal separator and all digits. Else, increase the whole number ones place value by 1 and truncate the decimal point and the digits to the right of it.

What does round your answer to the nearest integer mean?

It means determining the whole number, a number with no decimal places and no fractional parts, which is closest to the input number you deal with.

How do you round a fraction to the nearest integer?

If the nominator of the proper fraction is equal or greater than half the denominator, round up to the nearest counting number. Else round down.

What is 8.5 rounded to the nearest integer?

As the first digit place value of 8.5 is 5, increase the digit in the integer ones place by 1, and then truncate the decimal separator and all digits after the whole number’s place: 8.5 → 9.

How do you round off to nearest integer?

If the first decimal value after the decimal point is equal to or greater than 5, round up to the nearest whole number. Else round down.

How to Round to the Nearest Integer?

To round a decimal number to the nearest integer examine the value of its first decimal digit. If the value is equal to 5 or greater, increase the value in the integers ones place by 1 and eliminate all digits. If the value is equal to 4 or less, simply remove all the digits and the decimal separator.For example:
  • 1.36: The first digit’s value is 3, so we round down: 1.36 → 1
  • 15.8: The first decimal value is 8, so we round up: 15.8 → 16
  • 11 Nothing to be done, the tenths’ value is 0.

Round Up to the Nearest Integer

If the digit at the first decimal place of a certain number is >= 5, then, as stated by the general rounding rules, you round up to the nearest integer. However, the term round up to the nearest integer means that all first decimal place values in between 1 and 9 are rounded up by adding 1 to the value in the integer ones place, and then deleting the decimal point and all digits.

Round Down to the Nearest Integer

If the digit at the first decimal place is < 5, then, as stated by the general rounding rules, you round down to the nearest integer. However, the term round down to the nearest integer means that first decimal place in between 1 and 9 are rounded down by deleting the decimal point and all digits.

Bottom Line

Each and every resulting (rounded) number has always the same value as the input number, but its value is less exact.Here you can learn how to round to the nearest tenth.If our information has been of use to you, then you may also be interested in checking out our related sites located in the “recommended sites” part in the sidebar of our home page.
