Less digits to work with. As an example, to multiply 4000 x 30,000, you only need to multiply 4 x 3, then attach all the zeros (7 zeros in this case) at the end. WITH A LITTLE BIT OF PRACTICE, YOU CAN DO THIS CALCULATION IN YOUR HEAD. However, if there are more significant digits (roughly speaking, non-zero digits), most people would need pencil and paper, or a calculator, to do such a calculation.
Rounded numbers are easier to work with because in each number, there are fewer significant digits to work with.
If you think about it, you can surely figure it out! Would you rather add 4.53895 + 98.11269 ... or add 5 and 99?
For cowboys, "rounded up" means "corralled." For mathematicians, "rounded up" means "estimated to a higher number that is shorter or easier to work with."
Rounding means making a number simpler but keeping its value close to what it was. The result is less accurate, but easier to use. 73.67532 can be rounded to 74.
Because most people find that easier to work with than 3.141592653589792 is,and the answers they get are only 0.051% too small, so why not !
Integers are whole numbers without decimals or fractions which are useful because calculations are easier to work out.

if your numbers arent whole numbers then multiply them out until they are whole numbers that are easier to work with.
1.0348m rounded to 4 significant numbers is 1.035m
Factorization is practically applied when reducing fractions. This is because it is easier to work with small numbers than with large numbers.
There are no "these" numbers. 1456400, rounded to the nearest thousand is 1456000

Ten integers can be rounded off to 280. An infinite number of numbers can be rounded off to 280.
There are no set rules about rounding numbers, so when rounding numbers, mathematical rules about rounding can be used. For example, 14 would be rounded to 10, but 15 would be rounded to 20. For another example, 1144 is rounded to 1140 and 1145 is rounded to 1150.
