Three thousand five hundred fifty six.
You're looking for the hundreds.
Is fifty six at least half a hundred? Yes.
In that case, round UP to the nearest hundred.
The nearest hundred to 3556 is 3600
(say it and it will make sense -- "thirty six hundred")

3556; consider plus 100 and minus 100 and turn last two digits to zeros:



--------
3600
3556
3500

Which of the two surrounding hundreds is nearer to 3556?
The 3600, or the 3500 ?
