* If that digit is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to the underlined digit.

* After rounding of, ignore all the digits after the underlined digit.

● Adding zeros at the right end of decimal digits will not change the value of the number.

● Zeros are added at the right end of decimal digits of a decimal number that are to be added or subtracted.

● The number of decimal digits in the product of two decimal numbers is equal to the sum of decimal digits that are multiplied.

● When a decimal number is multiplied by 10, 100 or 1000, the digits in the product are same as in the decimal number but the decimal point in the product is shifted to the right by as many places as there are zeros followed by 1.

● When a decimal number by 10, 100 and 1000, the digits of the number (Dividend) and the obtained decimal number after division are the same but the decimal point in the obtained decimal number after division is shifted to the left by as many places as there are zeros followed by 1.
