The digits that are reported in an answer are called significant figures.
There is no such thing as scientific digits. There are 6 digits in the number of which 3 are SIGNIFICANT (not scientific) digits.
Measurements need to be specific so we use significant digits.
There are three significant digits. I am not sure what scientific digits are!
Because it uses fewer digits as for example 9,000,000,000,000,000 in scientific notation is 9.0*10^15

Significant digits do help to reflect the true precision of a measurement. This is because often the last reported digit in a measurement has an unacceptably large error associated with it. Thus, only reporting significant digits is the most conservative practice. Sometimes, however, it helps to be more accurate on a single measurement. In this case, if the measurement device is reliable to the last reported digit it may be reported for the sake of accuracy.
If done correctly, the coefficient of the scientific notation has the same number of significant figures as the whole number.

50.4 has three significant digits.
Any measurement may have two significant digits.
