Question

Round off the following to the nearest ten.

$1593$

Answer 1

Rounding off a number to the nearest $10$:

Look at the digit in the one's place,

• If it is less than $5$, round down to the smaller multiple of $10$.
• If it is $5$ or more, round up to the greater multiple of $10$.

The number $1593$ lies in between the two consecutive multiples of $10$ which are $1590$ and $1600$.

Also, $1593$ has the digit $3$ in the one's place which is smaller than $5$.

So, according to the rule given, $1593$ will be rounded down to the smaller multiple of $10$.

The smaller multiple of $10$ in between $1590$ and $1600$ is $1590$.

Therefore, $1593$ is rounded to $1590$.
