The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
When multiplying, the product is going to have the same number of significant digits as the least amount in the factors. So 8.08 has three significant digits and 5.232 has four significant digits. Remember that any zeros in-between significant digits is always significant. Because the least amount of sig digs in the factors is three (from 8.08), the product is going to have three sig digs.Multiplying out normally: 8.08 × 5.232 = 42.27456Rounded to three places: 42.3
All numbers which are not "zero" are classed as significant digits. Therefore in the number 129 there will be three digits which are classed as significant.
All five digits in the number are significant.
The number 202.45 has five significant digits.
When using significant digits, the product has only the number of significant digits as the lowest number in the factors. "20" has two significant digits and "310" has three. Therefore, the product has to have two significant digits. 310 × 20 = 6200 6200 already has two significant digits.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
No, counting numbers you can ignore or say they have an infinate number of significant digits. By counting numbers I mean things you count, or non measurements, or numbers you wouldn't round to significant digits anyway . Measurements always have significant digits.
1) Look at the two numbers you are multiplying 2) Find both their number of significant digits 3) Multiply both numbers together normally 4) Round your answer to the same number of significant digits of the least number in the first two factors 250 x 185 250 had 2 sig. digits------ 185 has 3 sig. digits 250 has the least number of sig. digits (2) Final answer has to have 2 sig. digits Normal answer: 46250 With rounding of sig. digits: 46000
