Rene3 zeroes , the zeroes preceding before the number 40500 are all insignificant , whereas the 3 zeroes in the number 40500 are significant. Hence it is a number with 3 significant zeroes and 5 significant figures, i.e 40500
In the number 0.0040500, there are three significant zeros. Zeros appearing between non-zero digits (4 and 5) are significant. The zeros before the first non-zero digit (4) are not significant as they serve as placeholders. The zeros after the last non-zero digit (5) in the decimal portion are also significant.

What are the rules for recognizing significant digits?
The rules for identifying significant figures when writing or interpreting numbers are as follows: 1. All non-zero digits are considered significant. For example, 91 has two significant figures (9 and 1), while 123.45 has five significant figures (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). 2. Zeros appearing anywhere between two non-zero digits are significant. Example: 101.1203 has seven significant figures: 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 0 and 3. 3. Leading zeros are not significant. For example, 0.00052 has two significant figures: 5 and 2. 4. Trailing zeros in a number containing a decimal point are significant. For example, 12.2300 has six significant figures: 1, 2, 2, 3, 0 and 0. The number 0.000122300 still has only six significant figures (the zeros before the 1 are not significant). In addition, 120.00 has five significant figures since it has three trailing zeros.
How many significant numbers are in 0.0500?
There are three significant figures: the trailing zeros are significant because they are indicative of the precision of the number.
How 870.0 contain 4 significant digits?
Trailing zeros in a number containing a decimal point are significant. For example, 12.2300 has six significant figures: 1, 2, 2, 3, 0 and 0. The number 0.000122300 still has only six significant figures (the zeros before the 1 are not significant). In addition, 120.00 has five significant figures since it has three trailing zeros.
What number has 100 zeros?
any number containing 100 zeros has 100 zeros but i'm assuming you mean a 1 fallowed by 100 consecutive zeros; that is a Googol or 10,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000
Is googol the highest number?
in my agenda at school, there is a little fact that the number centrillion, has 500 zeros. but, there is probaby a higher number out there. a googol is 1 followed by 100 zeros, but higher named number is a googolplex which is one followed by googol number of zeros - that's a lot of zeros!
