The 5.
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.
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.
0.0712 rounded to one significant figure is 0.1. In this case, the first significant figure is the digit '7', but since we only want one significant digit, we round it based on the next digit, which is '1'. Thus, the final answer is expressed as 0.1.
Five. Count from the first nonzero digit to the last nonzero digit.
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 first significant digit is the 5, which is in the ten-thousandth's position.
Any digit in a number which is to the right of the first digit which isn't a zero, including the first digit
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.
The number 327 to one significant figure is 300. The digit 3 is the first and only significant figure, and numbers after this digit are considered not significant.
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.
They all have 1 as the first digit.
The first non-zero digit from the left.
You keep the first digit, replace the remaining digits with zero, and check whether you need to round the first digit up or not.
0.0712 rounded to one significant figure is 0.1. In this case, the first significant figure is the digit '7', but since we only want one significant digit, we round it based on the next digit, which is '1'. Thus, the final answer is expressed as 0.1.

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.
All digits between the first non-zero digit and the last non-zero digits are significant. Some would argue that trailing 0s are significant since they are an indication of the precision of the number.
