Summary<\/b>: Use Windows PowerShell to round numbers to a specific decimal place.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Hey, How can I use Windows PowerShell to round a number to a specific number of decimal places, and
            continue to have a number instead of converting it to a string.<\/p>\n

\"Hey, Use the Round<\/b> <\/i>static method from the System.Math class. By default, it does not display decimal places,
           but you can easily change that behavior. The following code illustrates this procedure:<\/p>\n

PS C:\\> $a = 111.2226<\/p>\n

PS C:\\> [math]::Round($a)<\/p>\n

111<\/p>\n

PS C:\\> [math]::Round($a,2)<\/p>\n

111.22<\/p>\n

PS C:\\> [math]::Round($a,3)<\/p>\n

111.223<\/p>\n
