1) As many as you need for a particular purpose.

2) In any case, since this number is probably the result of some calculation, the answer should not look more accurate than what is justified by the original data. For example, if you multiply two numbers, one with 4, one with 5 significant digits, the answer should not have more than 4 significant digits.
