Learn English – In math, round down or round up

mathematicsword-choice

In math a number can be 'rounded' (sounds strange) up or down. For example if I want to round up to the next whole number (the 2.4 gets 3).

How do I express in English that I always want to round down or up.

"Always round down"
"Always round up"

Or is rounding named/expressed different in English?

Best Answer

The phrase you're looking for is "round off".

"Round off" means "round down or up, whichever is appropriate".
