Since you said "Decimals":
Because Decimal is a positional number system, you may write the digits as coefficients of decreasing powers of 10:
4*103+3*102+7*101+2*100 + 2*10-1+5*10-2+4*10-3+2*10-4+5*10-5+7*10-6

You can write the decimal number as a percentage.
When you make any number into a percentage, you just move the decimal 2 places to the right.
So ...
4372.254257 would become: 437225%.
Now, because the 7th number (immediately to the right of the 5) is a 4, you would not round up the 5 to 6.
If the seventh number had been a 5 or higher, the last number would be rounded up from 5 to 6.
Hope this helped.
