Some of you may have done approximation many times but not know its practical use.
Imagine yourself as a sports reporter, you wish to report on the number of people who attended a soccer match. Would it matter to the reader whether 1522 or 1523 people attended the soccer match?
Usually, people would approximate in this case and report that around 1500 attended the match.
For larger numbers, it is the same case. Suppose the population of a country was 4 340 400, usually people would not quote the exact figure. An approximate figure would be enough to give a rough idea, in this case, one can round off 4 340 400 to 4 million. "4 million" is much shorter/convenient to write or say out compared to writing "4 340 400" or saying "four million, three hundred and forty thousand, and four hundred" right?
