What's the best way to center horizontally and vertically?

I was given this piece of code, but I don’t know how to use it.

Can someone show me how to use it with my code?

If I have an example to go by, a template if you will, that’ll help a lot.

.parent {
  position: relative;
}

.child {
  width: 300px;
  height: 100px;
  padding: 20px;

  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;

  margin: -70px 0 0 -170px;
}
<div id="playButton2" style="display:block; width: 266px; height: 266px; cursor: pointer;background-color: #000000 ;background-image: linear-gradient( to right,transparent 83px,#0059dd 83px, #0059dd 86px, transparent 86px, transparent  174px, #0059dd 174px, #0059dd 177px, transparent 177px ); border: 3px solid #0059dd;"
