This operation is called rounding. 

For example, if I scored 97.9 points on a math test, I could round it up to 98. Or, if I scored 92.1 points, then I could round it down to 92. In both cases, the real math scores (both of which are decimals) are replaced by different, whole numbers.

The operation is known as rounding of a number.

This means basically if i measure the temperature of a city and it comes out to be 22.9 degrees. I will round it of to 30 degrees or the amount of significant figures i am designated with.

Similarly if its 22.85 and i have to round of to 3 significant figures it becomes 22.9 degrees.

ROunding off is obviously done watching to which digit we have to.
