How do you round 799.104 to a number with two sig figs?

I need to round 799.104 to two sig figs. How? Would it be 810 or 790 or something?

Thanks to anyone who answers :)

Update:

Just two sig figs! Not one! (800 is 1)

    the 1st sig fig in a no. is the 1st digit from the left different than 0, e.g. contained interior the no. 0.06189 the 1st sig fig is 6. contained interior the above no. there are 4 sig fig zeros infront are significant just to length to now no longer sig no as there are 3 sig fig in 239000000 in case of 237.4 and 237.6 rounding of those to 3 sig fig gives you ans as 237 and 238 repectively.
