345,773: Round off the integer number to the nearest hundred (3 whole places)

Rounding a number means replacing it with a simpler, shorter approximation, while keeping its value close to the initial one. The rounded number will be less accurate, but easier to work with.

Counting by hundreds (3 whole places at a time), our number is sitting on the axis of numbers between two consecutive neighboring numbers:
345,700 < 345,773 < 345,800

Our number is to be rounded off to one of these neighbors, the closer one.

The middle of this interval, the number that is equally close to the either neighbor, is: (345,700 + 345,800) ÷ 2 = 345,750

Our number, 345,773, is larger than 345,750, so it is closer to the larger neighbor: 345,800

Except for 'To Ceiling, To Floor', the rounded off number (both the positive and the negative) will be equal only to this larger neighbor.

Rounding digit. Let's call the digit of the position place that is intended to round off to as the 'rounding digit'. The digit is 7: 345,773

In a positive number, if the digit to the right of the 'rounding digit' is larger than 5, then the number is rounded to the larger neighbor.

The digit is 7: 345,773 ≈ 345,800 rounded to the nearest hundred (3 whole places).

Or, even simpler.
In any number rounded to whole places, if the digit to the right of the 'rounding digit' is 5 (but it is not the last non-zero digit to the right) or more than 5, ie. 6, 7, 8 or 9, then increase the 'rounding digit' by 1 and replace all the digits to the right of it with zeros:
