···4242* **Rounding half to even** also known as **banker's rounding** - if the truncated fraction is
4343 greater than half the base,
4444 increase the last remaining digit. If it is equal to half the base, increase the digit only
4545- if it's not even. This minimizes errors and bias, and is therefore preferred for bookkeeping.
4545+ if that produces an even result. This minimizes errors and bias, and is therefore preferred for bookkeeping.
