What is Rounding To Nearest Tenth Calculator?

Rounding is the process of making a number simpler. Our round to the nearest tenth calculator does this automatically.

Rounding to the nearest tenth means keeping just one digit after the decimal point. For example, 838.274 becomes 838.3.

What is Place Value?

Every digit in a number has a place value. This tells you what that digit represents.

In the number 838.274:

8 is in the hundreds place
3 is in the tens place
8 is in the ones place
2 is in the tenths place (this is our target)
7 is in the hundredths place
4 is in the thousandths place

How Does the Nearest Tenth Calculator Work?

Our nearest tenth calculator follows these rules:

Target Digit: The calculator finds the tenths place. This is the digit we’re rounding to.
Next Smallest Place Value: It looks at the hundredths place (the digit right after the target digit).
Rounding Up: If that digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, the calculator increases the target digit by 1.
Rounding Down: If that digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, the target digit stays the same.
The Carry Rule: When rounding a 9 up, it becomes 10. The calculator carries the 1 to the next place value. Example: 115.99 becomes 116.0.

Halfway Point Rule

Our rounding to the nearest tenth calculator uses Round Half Away From Zero.

This means the halfway point (when a number ends in .5) always rounds up. For example:

13.05 rounds to 13.1 (not 13.0)
190.45 rounds to 190.5 (not 190.4)

No math needed. Just type your number and get your answer.
