How to Round the Decimal Number to the Nearest Thousandth?
To round off a decimal number to the nearest thousandth, we need to remember the following rules:
Case 1: If the 4th digit after the decimal point is greater than or equal to 5, then while rounding off, we need to add 1 in the digit that is at the thousandth (3rd) place after the decimal point.
Case 2: If the 4th digit after the decimal point is less than 5, then while rounding off, we need to keep the thousandth (3rd) place digit as it is.
For example, when we round off 35.64387 to the nearest thousandths, it gives us 35.644
This is because the 4th digit after the decimal point is greater than 5. So while rounding off, we add 1 to the digit that is at the thousandth (3rd) place after the decimal point.
