Any measurement may have two significant digits.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
Out of all the measurements used in the calculation, find the one with the least number of significant digits. This will be the limiting factor of how many significant digits the answer should have.
the precision of the answer must have the same number of significant digits as the measurement with the least significant digits- the site explains the rules and how to identify significant digits

50.4 has three significant digits.

No, counting numbers you can ignore or say they have an infinate number of significant digits. By counting numbers I mean things you count, or non measurements, or numbers you wouldn't round to significant digits anyway . Measurements always have significant digits.

If two numbers have m and n significant digits, respectively, then then product can have at most m+n. However, the normally it is the minimum of m and n.
Four significant digits in 50.00.
When multiplying numbers with different numbers of significant digits, the result should have the same number of significant digits as the least precise measurement. Count the number of significant digits in each number, perform the multiplication as usual, and then round the result to the least number of significant digits used in the calculation.
When multiplying, the product is going to have the same number of significant digits as the least amount in the factors. So 8.08 has three significant digits and 5.232 has four significant digits. Remember that any zeros in-between significant digits is always significant. Because the least amount of sig digs in the factors is three (from 8.08), the product is going to have three sig digs.Multiplying out normally: 8.08 × 5.232 = 42.27456Rounded to three places: 42.3
