How many significant figures are needed when multiplying two numbers?
It depends on the number of significant figures from two numbers you are multiplying. But when multiplying you use the same number of significant figures from the numbers you are multiplying with the LEAST number of significant figures. Example: 92,873.239 * 2 = 200,000 (because the number 2 has only 1 significant figure even tho 92,873.239 has 8 significant figures your answer still only has 1 significant figure)
When multiplying how do you know the proper amount of significant figures?
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
When multiplying or dividing measurements does the answer have the same amount of significant figures as the measurement with the most significant figures?
No, the one with the least.
When multiplying or dividing measurements the answer has the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the most significant figure?
When multiplying/dividing measurements the answers needs to have the same amound significant figures as the one with the LEAST amount
How many significant figures should a student record when multiplying or dividing?
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
When multiplying 1.0400 x 0.302001 the number of significant figures in the answer should be?
5 since 1.0400 has 5 significant figures. when dividing or multiplying go with the number with the smaller significant figures.

What is the significant figures 4.884 x 2.25?
4.884 has four significant figures and 2.25 has three significant figures. 4.884 x 2.25 = 10.989 = 11.0 rounded to three significant figures. When multiplying or dividing, the result must have the same number of significant figures as the number in the problem with the fewest significant figures.
