The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
When dividing by negative numbers or dividing by fractions.
The answer depends on the magnitude of the number by which you are dividing.
add a zero to the end (only if it'safter the decimal) and continue dividing
If you are making use of long division method, the process of dividing a whole number is actually a subset of the process of dividing the decimals. While dividing both you may get a quotient with decimal places. Some exceptions to this do exist in case of whole numbers. Like when you are dividing 100 by 2, the quotient 50 has no decimal places.
Dividing by a non-zero rational number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
No, the one with the least.
When multiplying/dividing measurements the answers needs to have the same amound significant figures as the one with the LEAST amount
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.
the decimal place in the quotient or product should be based in the decimal place of the given with the least significant figures
The number of significant figures should be equal to the significant figures in the least precise measurement.
When adding or subtracting measurements, the result should have the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the fewest decimal places. When multiplying or dividing measurements, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the fewest significant figures.
The percent error in the measurement of density is calculated by taking the absolute difference between the measured value and the accepted value, dividing it by the accepted value, and then multiplying by 100. The result is rounded to the appropriate number of significant figures.
Yes by dividing by 1000
yes, by dividing by 1000
The basic idea is that the final result should not be - or rather, appear to be - more accurate than the original numbers. Therefore, the final result should not have more significant digits than the original numbers you multiply or divide. For example, if one factor has 3 significant digits, and the other 5, round the final result to 3 significant digits.
When adding or subtracting, follow these steps to find a sig figs answer: 1) Add/Subtract numbers regularly. 2) Determine which measurement has the least decimal places. 3) Round final answer to the same number of decimal places. When multiplying or dividing, follow these: 1) Count the number of sig figs in the numbers you are multiplying/dividing. 2) Multiply/Divide regularly. 3) Round final answer to the same number of sig figs as the measurement with the fewest sig figs.
