Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about decimal places, significant figures, place values, rounding methods, and privacy.
What rounding modes are supported?
The calculator supports decimal places, significant figures, and place value rounding.
How do I round to a place value?
Use place-value mode. Exponent 1 means nearest 10, exponent 2 means nearest 100, exponent 3 means nearest 1,000, and exponent -2 means nearest 0.01.
What is the difference between nearest, up, down, and truncate?
Nearest rounds to the closest value. Up uses the next higher rounding value, down uses the next lower rounding value, and truncate drops extra digits toward zero.
Can I round negative numbers?
Yes. The calculator accepts negative numbers. For nearest rounding, half values move away from zero.
Why can rounded decimals sometimes look surprising?
Browsers store many decimals in binary floating-point form. The calculator cleans display values, but very precise decimal work can still have normal floating-point limits.
Is my rounding history private?
Yes. Recent rounded values stay only in the current browser tab while you use the page. They are not sent to a server.
