round down
Drop decimal remainders
Round down means to reduce a number to the nearest lower whole number or specified decimal place: The calculator rounds down 4.7 to 4.
In everyday contexts, it often means adjusting a figure downward for simplicity or fairness: Let's round down to an even hundred.
The opposite is round up.
