	The mathematical definition of a round number is not dependent on a "base", but upon the prime factors of the number; i.e., all prime factors must be less than the square root of the number. Thus, 1000 is round because its prime factors are 2 and 5 which are under 32 and so is 1024 which has only the prime factor of 2.--DrMath 07:15, 17 February 2015 (UTC)		The mathematical definition of a round number is not dependent on a "base", but upon the prime factors of the number; i.e., all prime factors must be less than the square root of the number.

		+	:That is not the mathematical definition. Your definition would make 10 not a round number, but 161803398 and 161803398874 round numbers. Whether a number is round is intimately related to the represention of that number in specific bases. The more trailing zeroes, preferably all but one or two, the rounder the number is. The wikipedia page on this topic even uses 1024 as an example how numbers may be round in one base, but not others.
