I'm working in C# and need to divide this decimal value while displaying the result rounded to exactly four digits after the decimal point:
```csharp
decimal input = 964506164158.9453m;
decimal result = input / 2m;
Console.WriteLine(result);
```
The result is `482253082079.47265`, but I need `482253082079.4727`. What is the correct way to round it?

If the requirement is simply four decimal places, you can also scale, round, and scale back:
```csharp
decimal result = Math.Round((input / 2m) * 10000m) / 10000m;
```
However, the overload that directly accepts the number of decimal places is clearer and avoids unnecessary arithmetic.
`decimal` is already giving you the correct mathematical result. The exact quotient is `482253082079.47265`; to round it to four decimal places, use `Math.Round` and specify the number of digits:
```csharp
decimal input = 964506164158.9453m;
decimal result = Math.Round(input / 2m, 4, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero);
Console.WriteLine(result); // 482253082079.4727
```
`AwayFromZero` is useful when midpoint values should be rounded upward in magnitude.
Be careful with how the value is parsed and displayed. A decimal literal in C# uses a period, such as `123.456m`. If a value comes from user input or a file, parsing depends on the current culture; some cultures expect a comma instead. Use an explicit culture when parsing external text, but keep the `m` suffix for decimal literals in code.
