Rounding and Estimating Numbers

This calculator uses symetric rounding. That means it rounds in such a way that it rounds away from zero.

So, for example:

2.5 rounds up to 3, so -2.5 should round to -3.

This rule taught in basic math is used because it is very simple, requiring only looking at the next digit to see if it is 5 or more.

There are other ways of rounding numbers like:

Half Round Up (the common method of rounding)
Round to Even (Banker's Rounding)
Half Round Down
Round to nearest even
Round/truncate towards zero
