Its place usually represents the degree of accuracy of the number. The only exception (that I can think of) is when the last digit is 0 and it is there only for conventional reasons - for example money values being given to 2 digits after the decimal point.
you take the last digit in the first one and add/subtract it to the last digit in the second one and that is your answer
Five. Count from the first nonzero digit to the last nonzero digit.
All digits between the first non-zero digit and the last non-zero digits are significant. Some would argue that trailing 0s are significant since they are an indication of the precision of the number.

5. Count the number of digits from the first non-zero digit to the last non-zero digit.
When the last digit of a significant digit is 5 and we need to round it, we follow a rule called "round half up". This means that we round the digit up to the nearest number if the digit before it is odd, and round down if it's even. For example, 2.5 would round up to 3, while 3.5 would also round up to 4.
The last digit indicates the degree of significance.
When rounding 5.05 to two significant figures, we first identify the two most significant digits, which are the 5 and the 0. The digit following the last significant digit is 5, which is equal to or greater than 5, so we round the last significant digit up by 1. Therefore, 5.05 rounded to two significant figures is 5.1.

The number whose farthest right significant digit determines it. Whatever place that digit is in is the last significant digit in the sum. For example: 433 + 150 + 3.67 + 8000 = 8586.67, but in sig figs this is only 9000, as the thousands digit is the lowest digit that can be represented.

To correct to 4 significant figures, you need to round the number to have four digits starting with the first non-zero digit from the left. If the fifth digit is 5 or more, round up the last remaining digit. If it's less than 5, keep the digit as it is.
