To find the product of 3.15 m and 2 m, you multiply the two values: (3.15 \times 2 = 6.30) m². However, the number of significant figures must be considered. The value 3.15 has three significant figures, while 2 has one significant figure. Therefore, the result should be reported with one significant figure, which gives a final answer of 6 m².
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
To determine the number of significant figures in the product of 2.8 and 10.5, we look at the number of significant figures in each number. The number 2.8 has 2 significant figures, and 10.5 has 3 significant figures. When multiplying, the result should be reported with the same number of significant figures as the factor with the least significant figures, which is 2. Therefore, the product of 2.8 x 10.5 should be expressed with 2 significant figures.
2. The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
75.6 times 12.33 = 932.148 correct to 6 significant figures
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
To determine the number of significant figures in the product of 0.1400, 6.02, and (10^{23}), we need to identify the significant figures in each number. The number 0.1400 has four significant figures, 6.02 has three significant figures, and (10^{23}) has one significant figure (as it is a power of ten). The product will have the same number of significant figures as the term with the least significant figures, which is 6.02 with three significant figures. Therefore, the final product will have three significant figures.
The product of 1000 and 0.00357 is 3.57. The result should have three significant figures as that is the lowest number of significant figures given in the original numbers being multiplied.

3 of them.
776,890 in four significant figures is 776,900.
The correct representation when the number 0.007225 is rounded off to three significant figures is 0.00722
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.
Yes, that is correct.
