estimation

Estimation means to pick a number that is close enough to the exact answer to give us a good idea of the quantity we are dealing with. Usually, we use estimation when the exact numbers have lots of digits and we want to simplify the math operations we do on them. Sometimes we need an exact answer, but if we don't, estimation is a very good tool.
