In Mathematics, there are 3s.f.
However in sciences, this is counted as 4s.f.
The measurement 77.09m has four significant figures.
The accuracy of the measurement device determines the number of significant figures that should be retained in recording measurements.

That measurement has 4 significant figures. It could also be stated as 1.580 x 10^-3.
The final answer.is only as accurate as the least accurate component in the calculation, so use the significant figures of the measurement with the fewest.
The measurement 77.09m has four significant figures.
There are 4 significant figures in this number.
There are 4 significant figures in this number.
The number of significant figures should be equal to the significant figures in the least precise measurement.
3 of them.
4 of them.

The accuracy of the measurement device determines the number of significant figures that should be retained in recording measurements.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
