The significant digits in a number can be arbitrarily small or large in number, according to the method of creating them.

Numbers that can have an infinite number of possible significant digits are called transcendental numbers.

There is no such number. All of these sets go on forever.


What number is the greatest common factors of a number under 50?

If we are trying to find the two numbers less than 50 with the greatest common factor, we need to pick two numbers with a larger difference between them, since the greatest common factor between two numbers cannot be greatest than the difference between the two numbers. To create a large difference, we will want one number to be close in value to 50. And, for the greatest common factor, we want the other number itself to be the greatest common factor. The greatest common factor that the larger number can have (since it is larger and thus cannot be the greatest common factor itself) is the number which is half its value. So, if we choose the even number closest in value to 50, we get 48. Then, if we take half of it, we get 24. The greatest common factor of 24 and 48 is 24. This is the largest possible greatest common factor of a pair of numbers less than 50.

How to multiply numbers while considering significant digits?

When multiplying numbers with significant digits, count the total number of significant digits in each number. Multiply the numbers as usual, but round the final answer to match the least number of significant digits in the original numbers.

What is a 12 10 20.5 1.00 from least to greatest number of significant figures?

The numbers 12, 10, 20.5, and 1.00 have different significant figures: 12 and 10 each have two significant figures, 20.5 has three significant figures, and 1.00 has four significant figures. When ordered from least to greatest number of significant figures, the sequence is 12 (2), 10 (2), 20.5 (3), and 1.00 (4). Thus, the order from least to greatest is: 12, 10, 20.5, 1.00.
