1. All non-zero digits are always significant.
2. Zeroes between other significant figures are significant.
3. Trailing zeroes without a decimal point are not significant.
4. Trailing zeroes after a decimal point are significant.
5. Leading zeroes that come before a non-zero number are not significant.
1. 2598 has four significant figures.
2. 25005 has five significant figures.
3. 160 has two significant figures.
4. 45.800 has five significant figures.
5. 00.00589 has three significant figures.
All digits are significant in this case. Any digit after a decimal point is a significant digit.
The first significant digit is the 5, which is in the ten-thousandth's position.
To express 124.683 with one significant digit, we round it to the nearest ten. The first significant digit is '1' in the hundreds place, so we round 124.683 to 100.
Zero is considered a significant digit when it is to the left or the right of the decimal point. It is also a significant digit when it follows a non-zero digit or when it is between two digits.
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.
Four - zeros in-between significant digits are significant.
All four digits are significant.
4 significant digits.
To express 961 to one significant figure, you round it to the nearest significant digit. The first significant digit in 961 is 9, and since the next digit (6) is 5 or greater, you round up. Therefore, 961 rounded to one significant figure is 1000.
A significant digit is generally considered to be any non-zero digit, as well as zeros that are between non-zero digits or to the right of a decimal point after a non-zero digit. Zeros to the left of the first non-zero digit are not significant. Therefore, when considering significant digits, the position of the digit (left or right) matters, especially in relation to decimal points and the presence of non-zero digits.
The number whose farthest right significant digit determines it. Whatever place that digit is in is the last significant digit in the sum. For example: 433 + 150 + 3.67 + 8000 = 8586.67, but in sig figs this is only 9000, as the thousands digit is the lowest digit that can be represented.
All of the digits are significant:Any digit after the decimal point is significant.A zero is significant if it comes between other significant digits.
