Rounding Off Numbers
• Often when calculations are performed extra digits are present in the results.
• It is necessary to drop these extra digits so as to express the answer to the correct number of significant figures.
• When digits are dropped the value of the last digit retained is determined by a process known as rounding off numbers.
![Page 22: Chem 160- Ch # 2l](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568132a0550346895d9940f4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Rule 1. When the first digit after those you want to retain is 4 or less, that digit and all others to its right are dropped. The last digit retained is not changed.

In multiplication or division, the answer must contain the same number of significant figures as in the measurement that has the least number of significant figures.

(190.6)(2.3) = 438.38
438.38
Answer given by calculator.
2.3 has two significant figures.
190.6 has four significant figures.
The answer should have two significant figures because 2.3 is the number with the fewest significant figures.
Drop these three digits.
Round off this digit to four.
The correct answer is 440 or 4.4 x 102

The results of an addition or a subtraction must be expressed to the same precision as the least precise measurement.

The result must be rounded to the same number of decimal places as the value with the fewest decimal places.

Scientific Notation• Write a number as a power of 10• Move the decimal point in the original number
so that it is located after the first nonzero digit.
• Follow the new number by a multiplication sign and 10 with an exponent (power).
• The exponent is equal to the number of places that the decimal point was shifted.
