Only in numbers containing decimal points.
Trailing zeros after a decimal point are not normally written. As trailing zeros have been written they must be significant; thus 0.2000 has 4 significant figures.
Trailing zeros after a decimal point are not normally written; as trailing zeros have been written they must be significant, thus 0.04560700 has 7 sig fig.
Four. Trailing zeros in a number containing a decimal point are significant.
Trailing zeros after a decimal point are not normally written, but as they are written here they must be significant → 0.00100 has 3 significant figures.
I believe there are five. You count trailing zeros after the decimal point.
Trailing zeros after a decimal point are not normally written. As trailing zeros have been written they must be significant; thus 0.2000 has 4 significant figures.
Leading zeros and trailing zeros in numbers that don't have a decimal point.
Two. The trailing zeros are not significant.
Trailing zeros after a decimal point are not normally written. As trailing zeros have been written they must be significant; thus 4.2010 has 5 sig fig.
All digit are significant except: leading zeros,in the case of integers, trailing zeros.All digit are significant except: leading zeros,in the case of integers, trailing zeros.All digit are significant except: leading zeros,in the case of integers, trailing zeros.All digit are significant except: leading zeros,in the case of integers, trailing zeros.
Trailing zeros after a decimal point are not normally written; as there is a trailing zero written, it must be significant, thus 0.00860 has 3 significant figures.
Four. When the decimal point is expressed, trailing zeros are significant. Leading zeros are never significant.
Trailing zeros ALWAYS count as significant figures, so 700.0 would have 4 significant figures.
Trailing zeros after a decimal point are not normally written. As trailing zeros have been written they must be significant; thus 220.0 has 5 sig fig.
Trailing zeros after a decimal point are not normally written; as trailing zeros have been written they must be significant, thus 0.04560700 has 7 sig fig.
3 sig figs remember that trailing zeros ARE significant
Six. Trailing zeros in a number containing a decimal point are significant.
