rounding down
Dropping the decimals
Rounding down is adjusting a number to a lower value, typically to remove decimal places or reach a convenient figure.
If something costs $4.99, rounding down gives you $4.
In math and computing, rounding down always moves toward zero or negative infinity, unlike standard rounding which goes to the nearest value.
The calculator rounds down to two decimal places.
