When should you use round or around. He went around the corner or he went round the corner?

You would use "around" in this situation, as it implies a direction and not a shape. "He went AROUND the corner." However, in some situations, you may round a corner. For example, a baserunner in Baseball passing by third base and heading for home plate can be said to round the corner towards home, in reference to the path in which the runner takes around the basepath. Rather than running a straight line to third base and then a straight line to home plate, the runner takes the corner at full speed and thus, ROUNDS the corner in an arced path.

How do you round up 6.474 to whole no?
Normally, numbers are rounded up to the next whole number if they are closer to the next whole number, and rounded down if they are closer to one less than the next whole number. 6.474, which is 6 and 474 thousandths, is closer to 6 than it is to 7, so it is rounded down to 6. If the number was 6.633, for example, that would be rounded up to 7, because it is closer to 7 than to 6. The exact half-way point between 6 and 7 is 6.5 Half-way numbers (numbers that end in .5) are always rounded up. There was a programmer who worked for a bank, who programmed every payment to round down, and never up. Whenever a half-penny was lost because the payment did not round up when it should have, the half-penny went into his account! He stole a lot of money before anyone noticed and he was caught!
