721000 is the result.
You get 280.

That depends to what number of figures you are rounding to. Rounded to one significant figure, 361 is approximately equal to 400. Rounded to two significant figures, this is equal to 360.
The simple rule is: no more significant figures than the least accurate of the values in the computation. For multiplication and division, the result should have as many significant figures as the measured number with the smallest number of significant figures. For addition and subtraction, the result should have as many decimal places as the measured number with the smallest number of decimal places. (Rounding off can be tricky, but that would be another thread)

4.0 has two significant figure. Significant figures are worked out by finding the first number (working left to right) that is not zero. after finding this number count the number of figures that are shown including zero's
273.821 contains 6 significant figures. Rounding that to Hundredths (5 sig. figures) it becomes 273.82 Rounding it to Tenths (4 sig. figures) it becomes 273.8 And Rounding it to the nearest whole number (3 sig. figures) it becomes 274 etc., etc.
Rounding a number to the nearest significant figure means rounding it to the nearest digit that indicates the precision of the measurement. This typically involves looking at the significant figures in the number and rounding to the appropriate level of precision. For example, 345.678 rounded to the nearest significant figure would be 300.
If the zeros are significant figures then 900 is correct to 3 significant figures. If rounding off has occurred then the answer could be 1 sf or 2sf. For example : If the original number was 903 and rounding off to the nearest ten was required then 900 is correct to 2 significant figures. If the number was 927 and rounding off to the nearest hundred was required then 900 is correct to 1 significant figure.
Rounding significant figures in chemistry calculations is important because it helps maintain accuracy and precision in the final result. By rounding to the correct number of significant figures, scientists can ensure that their calculations are reliable and reflect the limitations of the measurements taken. This practice helps to avoid misleading conclusions and ensures that the data is presented in a clear and meaningful way.

Rounding is a good idea when:one of the components in a sum is given to fewer significant figures. Often, the answer cannot contain more significant figures (sf) than the lowest sf of its components.the exact answer is irrational (or transcendental) and it is impossible not to round the answer.
