286 to its nearest 100​ is 300

• To find the nearest to 100. We should look at the digit present at the tens place.
• If the digit present in the tens place is lesser than 5 then, round off to the lesser hundred's place.
• If the digit present in the tens place is greater than or equal to 5 then, round off to the greater hundred's place.
• The tens place of 286 is 8 and 8 is greater than 5.

• Therefore the given number is rounded off to the greater hundred's place. The greater hundred of 286 is 300.
• Hence, the nearest 100 of 286 is 300.
