Any measurement may have two significant digits.
Five - any zeros after the decimal are significant unless they're placeholders. Any zeros between significant digits are significant.
Three significant digits. Any 0's on the left side are excluded from significant digits but 0's on the right side are included.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
Because all non-zero numbers are significant and any zeros in-between significant digits are significant, there are 6 significant digits in 10.0039.
Any measurement may have two significant digits.
Five - any zeros after the decimal are significant unless they're placeholders. Any zeros between significant digits are significant.
Any non-zero digit is significant. Example: 352.12 has 5 significant digits. A zero is significant if it appears between non-zero digits. Example: 504.2 has 4 significant digits. A zero is also significant when it appears after the decimal point, AFTER other digits. In this case, it was only added to indicate a significant digit. Example: 5.30 has 3 significant digits. A zero after other numbers may or may not be significant. Use scientific notation to unambiguously indicate the number of significant digits. Example: 4500 has 2 significant digits. It may have 3 or 4 significant digits, but to be safe, assume 2 significant digits. A zero is NOT significant if it comes after the decimal point, BEFORE any other digits. In this case, it is only used to put the digits in their proper place. Example: 0.0024 has 2 significant digits.
368721 has 6 significant figures.
Four of them.
Three significant digits. Any 0's on the left side are excluded from significant digits but 0's on the right side are included.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
Because all non-zero numbers are significant and any zeros in-between significant digits are significant, there are 6 significant digits in 10.0039.
In any measurement, the accurately known digits and the first doubtful digits are called significant figures.
Five. All nonzero digits are significant and zeros in between significant digits are significant.
The first 3 significant digits of a number are the first 3 digits starting from the left ignoring any leading zeros. So 31456 = 31500 (3 significant digits) The 5 in the "56" rounds the 4 up.
The significant digits of a number represent a count of digits and so are represented by an integer. Any integer can be written in fractional form.
