To round off a number to the nearest 100, we need to consider the hundreds digit. If the tens digit is 5 or greater, we round up by adding 1 to the hundreds digit. If the tens digit is less than 5, we simply leave the hundreds digit as it is.
In the given number, 853 951, the hundreds digit is 9. Looking at the tens digit, which is 5, we can determine that it is greater than or equal to 5. Therefore, we round up by adding 1 to the hundreds digit.
Adding 1 to 9 gives us 10. However, since we're rounding to the nearest 100, we only need to consider the hundreds digit, which should remain as 0.
Therefore, rounding off 853 951 to the nearest 100 results in 853 900.
