Not sure I understand your question - but if you are asking what 256 divided by 30 would round to - when you divide it out, it is .5333, so it would round to .53, since you look at the next digit, and if it is 5 or higher, you would round it to the next higher number, otherwise, leave it at .53.
OR, if what you are asking is what you need to round 256 to in order to divide it by 30 and not have a remainder, you would simply look again at the number 256 - and if you are wanting to round it to the nearest hundred, look at the next digit (10's place) in this case - and since the number is 5 or higher, you would round the 2 in the hundreds place up to the next number, hence your number would then be 300 and 300 divided by 30 is 10 - with no remainder.
Hope this helps!
