Compare:
- {{
rnd|2.0004|3}} gives 2.000- whereas {{
#expr:2.0004 round 3}} gives 2
- whereas {{
- {{
rnd|0.000020004|7}} gives 2.00×10−5 - {{
rnd|0|8}} gives 0.00000000 - {{
rnd|154268|-3}} gives 154,000 {{rnd|1200004|-1}}→ 1,200,000- whereas
{{#expr:1200004round-1}}→ 1200000, even though{{#expr:1300004round-1}}→ 1300000 (see m:Help:Format produced by expr)

As with #expr, the total number of significant digits is not more than 14:

Internal details
The template uses three subtemplates:
- {{rnd/-}} — for trailing zeros
- {{rnd/e+}} — for scientific notation for numbers greater than or equal to 109 or less than or equal to −109
- {{rnd/e−}} — for scientific notation for numbers greater than −10−4 and less than 10−4 but not equal to zero
