How to Round the Decimal Number to the Nearest Hundredth?
To round the decimal number to the nearest hundredth we need to remember certain rules. The hundredth place value in a decimal number is the second number which comes first after the decimal point. For this, we need to observe the thousandth number (the number which comes third after the decimal point). If this number is greater than or equal to 5, we add 1 to the hundredth value. If it is less than 5, we leave the hundredth place value as it is, and remove all the numbers present after this number.
For example: When we round off 72.6468 to the nearest hundredths, it gives us 72.65
This is because the 3rd digit after the decimal point is greater than 5. So while rounding off, we add 1 to the digit that is at the hundredth (2nd) place after the decimal point.
Solved Examples on Rounding to the Nearest Hundredth Calculator

Example 1:
Round off the number 16.656 to the nearest hundredth.
Solution:
The 3rd digit after the decimal point of the number 16.656 is 6
The number 6 is greater than 5, so, we need to add 1 in the digit that is at the hundredth (2nd) place after the decimal point.
16.656 ⇒ 16.66
Therefore, the number 16.656 rounds off to the nearest hundredth as 16.66
-
Example 2:
Round off the number 45.3426 to the nearest hundredth.
Solution:
The 3rd digit after the decimal point of the number 45.3426 is 2
Now as the number 2 is less than 5, so, we will keep the hundredth (2nd) place digit as it is.
45.3426 ⇒ 45.34
Therefore, the number 45.3426 rounds off to the nearest hundredth as 45.34
Now, you can use the calculator and round the decimal numbers to the nearest hundredth.
