Approximation Definition

An approximation is defined as having no exact figure but close enough to be used in mathematics. You can approximate a rounding number, for instance, if a value is 2.91, it can be rounded to the approximated value of 3.

For a more precise understanding of a concept, let us have some examples below:

  • The approximation value of Pi is 3.14, whereas the actual value is 3.14159.

  • If an egg took 14 minutes and 20 seconds to boil, then the approximated time take by an egg is 15 minutes.
