Close but inexact estimate

a value or answer that is almost right, but not exact

वापर नमुना: an approximation of [a number/amount/value]; an approximation to [something]; a rough/close approximation
सामान्य चूक:
Use approximation of or approximation to, not usually approximation about. Do not use it when you need an exact value.
समानार्थी शब्द
estimate (more common and general; often about numbers or amounts) | rough estimate (emphasizes that the value is not very precise) | ballpark figure (informal; mainly for approximate numbers, costs, or amounts)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
exact value (the precise value rather than a near one) | precise figure (a specific and accurate number)
सहप्रयोग
rough approximation |close approximation |good approximation |reasonable approximation |crude approximation |fair approximation |initial approximation |best approximation |accurate approximation |approximation of the cost
विषय
measurement |math |business |planning
उदाहरणे
  • The figure of 10,000 is only an approximation, not an official count.
  • Can you give me a rough approximation of the total cost?
  • These measurements are approximations because the equipment is not perfectly accurate.
शिकणाऱ्यांसाठी उदाहरणे
  • This price is just an approximation.
  • I need an approximation of the distance.

Similar but not exact version

something that is like another thing, but not exactly the same

वापर नमुना: an approximation of/to [something]; a close/good/poor approximation
सामान्य चूक:
This meaning is about similarity, not necessarily about calculating a number.
समानार्थी शब्द
imitation (suggests copying and may imply something less authentic) | likeness (emphasizes general or visual similarity) | substitute (something used in place of the real thing) | version (a neutral word for a particular form of something)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
original (the real thing rather than a similar replacement) | exact match (something that is completely the same in the relevant way)
सहप्रयोग
close approximation |good approximation |fair approximation |poor approximation |rough approximation |loose approximation |visual approximation |reasonable approximation |approximation of reality |approximation to the original
विषय
comparison |art |food |communication
उदाहरणे
  • The vegan cheese is a decent approximation of the real thing.
  • The movie offers only a loose approximation of the novel's complex plot.
  • Her accent was a close approximation to British English, but not perfect.
शिकणाऱ्यांसाठी उदाहरणे
  • The drawing is an approximation of the building.
  • This sauce is a good approximation of the original.

Simplified mathematical substitute

in math or science, a simpler answer or model used because the exact one is difficult or unnecessary

वापर नमुना: [adjective] approximation; approximation to/of [a function/model]; approximation method
सामान्य चूक:
In technical writing, an approximation is often a deliberate method, not a careless guess.
समानार्थी शब्द
simplification (emphasizes making a problem or model less complex) | model (a representation used to explain or predict something) | estimate (less technical and usually focused on a value)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
exact solution (a complete solution with no approximation) | exact calculation (a calculation that gives the precise result) | closed-form solution (technical; an exact expression using standard mathematical operations)
सहप्रयोग
linear approximation |numerical approximation |polynomial approximation |asymptotic approximation |Gaussian approximation |small-angle approximation |approximation method |approximation algorithm |approximation error |approximation theorem
विषय
mathematics |science |computing |engineering
उदाहरणे
  • The model uses a linear approximation to predict demand over a small range.
  • Numerical approximations are often the only practical way to solve the equation.
  • The small-angle approximation works well when the angle is very small.
शिकणाऱ्यांसाठी उदाहरणे
  • We used an approximation because the exact answer was too hard.
  • The approximation was close to the true value.
