When rounding 1286 to 2 significant figures, you must consider the first two non-zero digits from the left. In this case, those digits are 1 and 2. The digit to the right of 2 (8) is greater than 5, so you round up. Therefore, 1286 rounded to 2 significant figures is 1300.

Well, honey, if we're talking about 1286 to 2 significant figures, it would be 1300. You see, the first two digits are 1 and 2, and the third digit, 8, is greater than 5, so we round that sucker up to 1300. Math can be a real hoot sometimes!
