The usual practice is that .5 or higher (.6, .7 etc.) is rounded up to the next highest integer, so that for example 8.5 can be rounded up to 9. You can do the same thing at any position in the number, for example, you can round up the number 432,669.00735 to 432,669.0074 if you so desire.

What is 3.582 rounded to 2 significant figures?
To round a number to 2 significant figures, you first need to look at the first two digits. In this case that is 3.5. The next step is to look at the third digit and assess if we need to round up. If the digit is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 you round up. Otherwise you leave the figures as they are (round down). In this case the third digit is 8, and so we do need to round up.
