Rounding is not very relevant in P4 - the marks are for the approach not for the final answer. For discount factors, usually we use the tables which are to three decimal places. If you need to calculate a discount factor yourself, then go to three decimal places. For cash flows, usually to to the nearest thousand, but this is not a fast rule - you are expected to use your own judgement.
