The zero is not counted in the significant digits. It only indicates the accuracy. To count significant don't count zeroes unless it between other non-zeroes.
I assume you mean significant digits. All digits are significant. A zero between other digits is always significant.
Non-zero digits are always significant. Thus, 569 has three significant digits, and 69.35 has four significant digits. Zeros are sometimes significant and sometimes aren't: # Zeroes placed before other digits are not significant; 0.0968 has three significant digits. # Zeroes placed between other digits are always significant; 70063 kg has five significant digits. # Zeroes placed after other digits but behind a decimal point are significant; 7.90 has three significant digits. # Zeroes at the end of a number are significant only if they are behind a decimal point as in (c). Otherwise, it is impossible to tell if they are significant. For example, in the number 8200, it is not clear if the zeroes are significant or not. The number of significant digits in 8200 is at least two, but could be three or four. To avoid uncertainty, use scientific notation to place significant zeroes behind a decimal point: 8.200 * 103 has four significant digits 8.20 * 103 has three significant digits 8.2 * 103 has two significant digits
All of the digits are significant:Any digit after the decimal point is significant.A zero is significant if it comes between other significant digits.
A significant figure is a bit like a decimal place, in that just how a maths question may ask for the answer 'to 2 decimal places' it may also be answered to '2 significant figures'. For example, say you have the answer: 3.1415926 To 1 decimal place it would be: 3.1 (because you round the 4 after the 1 down, because it is less than 5), because there is 1 digit after the decimal place (.) To (a certain amount) of significant figures, however, means the total amount of digits/numbers in the answer, for example: To 3 significant figures, the answer would be: 3.14 because there are now just 3 digits in the answer. However, a '0' does not count as a significant figure if it is before/after a set of regular (1-9) numbers (but it does count if it is in-between). For example: 0.00000454 This is still to 3 significant figures, because the '0's are before the other numbers, and so do not 'count'. The same can be said for: 45400000000 This is still to 3 significant figures, because the '0's are after the other numbers, so they do not count. However: 400045 This is NOT to 3 significant figures, because the '0's are IN BETWEEN the other numbers, and so they DO count as significant figures. Hope I helped :)
if between two other digits ex: 3009 or ending zeros when there is a decimal ex: 54.300
There are 5 sig figs. The final zero is signficant.Another Answer:-It seems that there are only 4 significant figures in 6.6750 because 0 in this instance does not count as a significant figure.
5 significant digits because the 2 zeros are in between other significant digits.
I assume you mean significant digits. All digits are significant. A zero between other digits is always 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.

All of the digits are significant digits in this case. A zero between other (non-zero) digits is considered significant.
Significant digits are digits that provide useful information, for instance 123 has 3 significant digits and 30010 has 4 significant digits. So basically zeros aren't significant unless they are between two other numbers. 0.1020 has only 4 significant digits. A+: 4
four The one and five are automatically significant because they are non-zero digits. The first zero is significant because it is between two other significant figures, and the trailing zero is significant because it comes after a decimal point.
Answer: There are six. Answer: There is no such thing as "significant numbers". I assume you mean "significant digits". All digits are significant in this case - a zero (or more than one zero) between other digits is always significant.
The two numbers mentioned in the question have four significant figures (often called significant digits). If you wish to check your knowledge of sig-digs, check out the following link: http://science.widener.edu/svb/tutorial/sigfigures.html
All the digits are significant in this case. A zero between other digits is always significant, and all zeros after the decimal point are significant.
