I'd round it to 81k whether the number is good or bad. It's less than a 1% difference. What I wouldn't do is round it to 100k because that's a 24% increase, unless the number was really inconsequential. Say you have a website with 10m requests over a month, 9.9m were successful, and "100k" were failed requests for nonsense pages.

Thanks for your thoughts. You would round up 99k to 100k (fair, imo) but don't round down 80.5k to 80k? I guess this is just one of those things...
