CSS Foundations Margins, Aligning, and Centering, Barista Tool Practice

Hey! I am working my way through the foundations of CSS and developing a simple Barista tool for practice. If I want to center my .block div within the page, and the table within the div containing the Brew Method and Notes section, what should I do differently? Right now when I fullscreen in chrome my table is slightly to the left of center... Thanks! Jon

<div class="block">
      <form>
             <table class="table">
               <thead>
                 <tr>
                  <th>Brew Method</th>
                  <th>Notes</th>
                 </tr>
            </thead>
            <tbody>
            <tr>
            <td>
                <input name="radio" type="radio" id="radio1"><label for="radio1">Espresso</label><br>
                <input name="radio" type="radio" id="radio2"><label for="radio2">Full Immersion</label><br>
                <input name="radio" type="radio" id="radio3"><label for="radio3">Pour Over</label><br>
                <input name="radio" type="radio" id="radio4"><label for="radio4">Commercial</label><br>
                <input name="radio" type="radio" id="radio5"><label for="radio5">Other</label><br>
                </td>
                  <td>
                    <input type="text" id="notes">
                  </td>
                </tr>
                </tbody>
            </table>
        </form>
    </div>

.bg {
  background: black;
}

.box {
  background: white;
  margin: auto;
  border-radius: 10%;
  padding: 20px;
}

.block {
  width: 50%;
  margin: auto;
}

Edited your post to add MarkDown for embedding code. If you now click edit you can see the backticks required and optional language name :)

i figured it out, and was probably just tired last night dancing around the answer, or not saving properly... all i did was add a specific class to the table within the div with a margin: auto; and it centered evenly, not sure what i was botching yesterday
