Circle

The round is shaped like a circle.

Round is something that has the shape of a circle ( circumference ). Things with the appearance or design of a sphere or similar, therefore, are circles.

Different meanings of the term round

What is well done , is completed without errors or provides great benefits is also described as round. In this sense, a “round business” is one that generates significant profits. If a person invests $200 in a microenterprise and generates income of $5,000 , they will have made a “round deal.”

Round, on the other hand, can be used to name a large area that covers different places. The expression “around” , in this sense, mentions that which surrounds something: “The explosion was heard twenty blocks around” , “The police searched an area three kilometers around the scene, but "He didn't find any clues."

The concept in mathematics

In mathematics , the term round can refer to a number that has been rounded. This technique serves to obtain a clearer or easier number to use in a given operation, by eliminating a certain number of decimal digits, or all of them so that the result is an integer.

The specific concept of a round number , for its part, is defined mathematically as one that has a high number of factors compared to its neighbors. For example, the number 24 is factored as the result of 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 (4 factors), while: 27 has three; 21, 22, 25 and 26 have two; 23 has only one factor. For this reason, it is correct to consider 24 as a round number.

Informally, a round number is an integer that ends in one or more zeros; in other words, a multiple of any power of 10. It is worth mentioning that some multiples of 5 are also usually considered round numbers, as is the case with 45, 55 or 65, as opposed to 43, 51 or 67, to name a few examples. For the observer, multiples of 5 are friendlier , since they only return two possible units: 0 and 5.

In contrast to a fraction or a number with decimals, however, any integer is taken as round. In the same way, a number that is not round in one system may be round in another; For example: 1024 is not a round number in the decimal system, but it is in binary or hexadecimal.
