How do you find two significant numbers?
significant figures are any numbers before or after a decimal point excep 0 so 01.2134 to 2 significant numbers is 1.2. if there is a 0 after a signifcant figure it counts for example.... 1.100 to three significant figures is 1.10
Could you show me examples of a non significant numbers?
No. If I give you a list of non significant numbers, then there will be a first number in the list and it will therefore be a significant number as it's the first one of the list, so I'd have to remove it from the list. This would then leave the second non significant number as the first one in the list which gives it significance, so I'd have to remove it as well. The net result is that I'd have to remove all the numbers from the list of non significant numbers leaving it empty, that is, there are no non significant numbers.

5. The zeros preceding (before) the 5 are place-holders and are not significant figures. However, the zero at the end indicates the level of accuracy and so IS a significant digit.
What are the significant numbers in 10.00?
In 10.00, the first significant figure is the "1", and the last significant figure is the last "0", because zeroes to the right of the decimal are significant. The two central zeroes are also significant because they are between significant figures, so 10.00 has 4 significant figures.
