Round down to nearest 10 python

Python – Round Number to Nearest 10

To round number to nearest 10, use round() function. We can divide the value by 10, round the result to zero precision, and multiply with 10 again. Or you can pass a negative value for precision. The negative denotes that rounding happens to the left of the decimal point.

In this tutorial, we will write Python programs to round a number to its nearest 10 or 100.

For example, if the number is 3652, then its nearest number to 10 is 3650. And the nearest 100 is 3700.

Round down to nearest 10 python

Example 1 – Round Number to Nearest 10 using round()

In this example, we will read a number from user, and round the value to its nearest 10 using round() function.

Python Program

number = int(input('Enter a number :'))
rounded = round(number/10)*10
print('Rounded Number :', rounded)

Output

Enter a number :3652
Rounded Number : 3650

Or you can also provide a negative number as the second argument for round() function, to round to those number of digits before decimal point.

Python Program

number = int(input('Enter a number :'))
rounded = round(number, -1)
print('Rounded Number :', rounded)

Output

Enter a number :3652
Rounded Number : 3650

Example 2 – Round Number to Nearest 100 using round()

In this example, we will round the number to its nearest 100 using round() function.

Python Program

number = int(input('Enter a number :'))
rounded = round(number/100)*100
print('Rounded Number :', rounded)

Output

Enter a number :3652
Rounded Number : 3700

Or you can also provide a negative number as the second argument for round() function, to round to those number of digits before decimal point. To round to nearest 100, we need to provide -2 as second argument to round().

Python Program

number = int(input('Enter a number :'))
rounded = round(number, -2)
print('Rounded Number :', rounded)

Output

Enter a number :3652
Rounded Number : 3700

Conclusion

Concluding this Python Tutorial, we learned how to use round() function to round a number to nearest 10 or 100. You can use the same process to find the nearest number to any digit before the decimal point.

Is there a function in Python that allows me to round down to the nearest multiple of an integer?

round_down(19,10)=10
round_down(19,5)=15
round_down(10,10)=10

I conscientiously looked at SO and found nothing related to rounding down to a nearest base. Please keep this in mind before you post links to related questions or flag as duplicate.

This probably isn't the most efficient solution, but

def round_down(m, n):
    return m // n * n

is pretty simple.

I ended up doing the following when in the same situation, making use of the floor function. In my case I was trying to round numbers down to nearest 1000.

from math import floor


def round_down(num, divisor):
    return floor(num / divisor) * divisor

Could do a similar thing with ceil if you wanted to define a corresponding always-round-up function as well(?)

How do you round down to the nearest 10?

If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round the number up. Example: 38 rounded to the nearest ten is 40. If the number you are rounding is followed by 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, round the number down. Example: 33 rounded to the nearest ten is 30.

How do you round down in Python?

Python has a built-in round() function that takes two numeric arguments, n and ndigits , and returns the number n rounded to ndigits . The ndigits argument defaults to zero, so leaving it out results in a number rounded to an integer.

How do you round down to the nearest 5 in Python?

Round a Number Down to the nearest 5 in Python # Call the math. floor() method passing it the number divided by 5 . Multiply the result by 5 . The result of the calculation is the number rounded down to the nearest 5 .

Does Python round .5 up or down?

As always, Stack Overflow had the answer: Python rounds . 5 down sometimes because of Banker's Rounding, also known by the much more informative name "Round Half To Even". Python will round . 5 numbers to the nearest even whole.
