The number pi is irrational - it cannot be represented as a fraction. This means that the number of decimal places is infinite. From wikipedia..... The Guinness-recognized record for remembered digits of π is 67,890 digits, held by Lu Chao, a 24-year-old graduate student from China. It took him 24 hours and 4 minutes to recite to the 67,890th decimal place of π without an error.
2 d.p means 2 decimal places. It only includes the numbers after the decimal point, like 2.43 or 6.91.

There is NO true number!!!! 'pi' is an irrational number, which means that the decimal digits go to infinity, and there is no regular order in the decimal digits. 'pi does NOT equal 3.14, nor 3.1416, nor 3.141592 These are only approximations. pi = 3.141592.... ( to infinity). Super Dupa computers have calculated 'pi' to at least 50 billion places and still going. However, for school work.or technical /scientific work , pi is equated to 3.14 or 3.1416.
Scientific notation is the writing of a number as a decimal number with one digit left of the decimal and all the other digits to the right, and then the power of ten appropriate to expressing that number. Here we have 375,000 for our number. First we need to figure out where the decimal is going to be. It will, per the rule, be between the 3 and the 7. That puts it in a place where only the 3 is to the left of the decimal. (One digit, per the rule.) To get it there, we need to move the decimal to the left by five places. When we move the decimal to the left, we have to multiply by a positive power of 10 to correctly express the number. 375,000 = 3.75 x 105 for your answer in scientific notation.
Well, darling, the number 36.4375 has four decimal places. It's not rocket science, honey, just count those digits after the decimal point. So, in this case, you've got 4 decimal places to work with. Hope that clears things up for you!
Significant figures represent the precision of a measurement, including all certain digits and one uncertain digit. Decimal places indicate the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. Significant figures are based on the accuracy of the measurement, while decimal places are based on the scale of the number.
The answer depends on the number of decimal places or the number of significant digits to which you wish to round the number.

Three. This refers to the number of significant digits AFTER the decimal point.
It is rounding a decimal representation of a number so that there are two digits after the decimal point.
The number of decimal places in a factor is determined by counting the digits to the right of the decimal point. In the case of the factor 40, there are no decimal places, as there is no decimal point present. Therefore, the number of decimal places in the factor 40 is 0.
No... you can write it to any number of decimal places.
The number of digits on both sides of the decimal point is up to you! For instance, Pi is accepted as being 3.14 (two places) for general use. But, 3.14159265359 is to 11 places, and it can stretch on into infinity!
A single digit in a number can have a place. A number with several digits cannot.
Digits after (to the right of) the decimal point contribute to the accuracy of the number, not its magnitude (or size). So only the digits to the left of the decimal point contribute to the magnitude. Digits after (to the right of) the decimal point contribute to the accuracy of the number, not its magnitude (or size). So only the digits to the left of the decimal point contribute to the magnitude. Digits after (to the right of) the decimal point contribute to the accuracy of the number, not its magnitude (or size). So only the digits to the left of the decimal point contribute to the magnitude. Digits after (to the right of) the decimal point contribute to the accuracy of the number, not its magnitude (or size). So only the digits to the left of the decimal point contribute to the magnitude.
You need to add up the number of digits to the right of the decimal to find the number of digits in the answer. If the first factor has 2 digits to the right of the decimal point and the second factor has 3, the final answer will have 5 digits to the right of the decimal point.
