int(x)
* Context: The method you choose (rounding, truncation, or conversion) depends on the specific requirements of your problem, such as whether you need the nearest integer, the closest integer towards zero, or simply the integer part of the number.
This will discard the decimal part and give you the integer value.

By applying these methods, you can effectively “remove decimals” from your mathematical operations as needed.
* Example 1: If x=3.78x = 3.78x=3.78:
Method 2: Truncation
Considerations
Removing decimals in math typically means converting a decimal number into a whole number or an integer. Here are a few common methods to achieve this:
o Ceil of xxx (⌈3.78⌉) = 4
⌈x⌉ or ceil(x)\lceil x \rceil \text{ or } \text{ceil}(x) ⌈ x ⌉ or ceil ( x )
* Type conversion: In programming, converting a floating-point number to an integer type will automatically truncate the decimal part. For example, in Python, you can use:
o Floor of xxx (⌊3.78⌋) = 3
* Precision: Be mindful of how rounding or truncation might affect your calculations, especially in contexts where precision is critical (e.g., financial calculations).
⌊x⌋ or floor(x)\lfloor x \rfloor \text{ or } \text{floor}(x) ⌊ x ⌋ or floor ( x )
o Floor of xxx (⌊-2.56⌋) = -3

Round down: If you want to remove the decimal part completely and keep the integer part only, you can use the floor function (denoted as ⌊x⌋) or simply round down:
o Ceil of xxx (⌈-2.56⌉) = -2
Method 3: Conversion

* Integer part: If you simply want to discard everything after the decimal point and keep the integer part, you can use the integer conversion or truncation function: int(x) or ⌊x⌋ (in programming)\text{int}(x) \text{ or } \lfloor x \rfloor \text{ (in programming)} int ( x ) or ⌊ x ⌋ (in programming) This function essentially chops off the decimal part of xx x without rounding.
Examples
* Example 2: If x=−2.56x = -2.56x=−2.56:

* Round up: Alternatively, you can use the ceiling function (denoted as ⌈x⌉) to round up to the smallest integer greater than or equal to xx x :
