Three as three is the minimum found
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
There are 4 significant figures to be reported.
The number 5321 has 4 significant figures.
14,400, but since 12 has only 2 significant figures, the answer should more properly be written as14,000
Yes. That's a step you should usually include, to avoid the result from looking more accurate than it actually is.
You should report your answer to three significant figures because 6774m has four significant figures and 46m has two significant figures, so the least number of significant figures between the two numbers determines the number of significant figures in the product.
When multiplying numbers, count the number of significant figures in each number being multiplied. The result should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the fewest significant figures.
When multiplying numbers with significant figures, count the total number of significant figures in each number being multiplied. The result should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the fewest significant figures. Round the final answer to that number of significant figures.
3.60 and 3.600, as well as 3.600000000, are all identical in value.
The number of significant figures should be equal to the significant figures in the least precise measurement.
The product of 1000 and 0.00357 is 3.57. The result should have three significant figures as that is the lowest number of significant figures given in the original numbers being multiplied.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
When multiplying numbers, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the fewest significant figures.
There are 4 significant figures to be reported.
The number 5321 has 4 significant figures.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
To determine the correct number of significant figures in a calculation involving both addition and multiplication, follow these steps: Perform the addition or subtraction operation first, and count the number of decimal places in the result. For multiplication or division, count the number of significant figures in each number being multiplied or divided. The final answer should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the least number of significant figures in the calculation.
