round numbers
Easy to remember
Round numbers are figures ending in zeros or otherwise easy to work with: 10, 50, 100, 1000.
They feel neat and memorable compared to precise figures.
People gravitate toward round numbers for estimates, prices, and goals: Let's call it an even hundred, She's aiming to run a marathon in under four hours.
To round a number is to adjust it to the nearest convenient figure.
