How many significant figures do you use in multiplication?
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
75.6 x 12.33 in significant figures?
Count the significant figures in each number. Calculate the minimum of these numbers. Do the multiplication Round the product to the LEAST number of significant figures, determined above.
How do you do significant figures when more than one operation is involved?
It depends on the operation - for multiplication, the ammount of significant figures is the same as the multiple that has the least. Same for division. For subtraction and addition, the significant figures are decided by the least ammount of spaces past the decimal in the answer. For example, 30.7+2.111111111 would be 30.8
Rules in determining significant figures in four fundamental operations?
The simple rule is: no more significant figures than the least accurate of the values in the computation. For multiplication and division, the result should have as many significant figures as the measured number with the smallest number of significant figures. For addition and subtraction, the result should have as many decimal places as the measured number with the smallest number of decimal places. (Rounding off can be tricky, but that would be another thread)
How many significant figures does 20.2 have?
20.2 has three significant figures.
How many significant figures do you use in multiplication?
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
When finding significant figures for multiplication and division problems you go by the least number of?
multiplication/division: least number of significant figures addition/subtraction: least number of numbers to the right of decimal point
75.6 x 12.33 in significant figures?
Count the significant figures in each number. Calculate the minimum of these numbers. Do the multiplication Round the product to the LEAST number of significant figures, determined above.
How far is mercury from the sun rounded to 4 significant figures?
The distance of Mercury from the Sun rounded to four significant figures is 5.790x107km. " x " shows the sign of multiplication.
What are the rules in multiplication and division of significant figures?
The accuracy of the answer is limited to the LEAST significant figures of the input. So if two measured quantities are multiplied or divided, one of which is accurate to only two significant figures, and other to six significant figures, the answer is only accurate to two significant figures. HOWEVER: use all the figures you have for the calculation, and then round your answer to two significant figures. Also, however, remember that if you are multiplying by an actual exact number, as in doubling, the significant figures of that 2 is unlimited, so the answer is only limited by the significant figures of the number you are doubling.
What are the values in determining the number of significant figures involving the four mathematical operations?
addition multiplication division subtraction
For the multiplication of 8.1 m times 6.4 m the result should be reported with how many significant figures?
2 of them.

For subtraction and addition, the significant figures are decided by the least ammount of spaces past the decimal in the answer. For example, 30.7+2.111111111 would be 30.8
List some rules used to determine the number of significant figures and how they differ for addition and subtraction vs multiplication and division?
For multiplication/division, use the least number of significant figures (ie 6.24 * 2.0 = 12). For addition subtraction, use the least specific number (ie 28.24 - 2.1 = 26.1)
What is the result of the following calculation using the correct number of significant figures in the answer?
It might have been possible to answer the question if the "following" multiplication had followed. But since you did not bother to make sure that it did, I cannot provide a more useful answer.
How many significant figures are in 1.0054?
4 significant figures.
How many significant figures in 9400?
There are 3 significant figures in 94.2.
