Best Answer

My Chemistry teacher defined trailing zero's as the ones that follow another number. We used them in relation to significant figures. If that's how you're using them (as significant figures) then the numbers are sometimes significant. If they come after a decimal point they're significant. Like 300.0 the 2 zero's before the decimal point are unsignificant, and the one after is (It's also a trailing zero).
