First, look at the digits less than one one-hundredth (

See if that number is closer to the higher or lower hundredth:
(if the first digit is 5 or greater, then higher;

Since 4 is closer to the lower hundred, round down
0.00416 -> 0.00000
Add this to the digits we didn't touch:
<span>17,546.32000 + 0.00000 = 17,546.32
