Question

Rounding 16406.5 to nearest integer

Answer 1

16407.

An integer is a whole number that doesn't need to be written using a fraction or decimals. (Some examples of integers are 4, 50, and -3; on the other hand, fractions or decimals like 1/2 or .3 are not).

Because we round up a number when the decimal is greater than or equal to .5 (which in this case it is), we round 16406.5 to the next biggest integer, 16407.

Answer 2

16406.5 to the nearest integer.

The nearest integer is to the nearest whole number. The number after the last digit of the whole number is 5.

We round up the 5 so that 1 more is added to the last digit 6 to become 7.

16406.5 ≈  16407    to the nearest integer
