To round to 3 significant digits, start counting from the first non-zero digit. If the digit to the right of the third significant digit is 5 or greater, round up. If the digit is less than 5, leave the third significant digit unchanged. Replace all digits to the right of the third significant digit with zeros.

To round numbers to 3 significant figures, identify the first three non-zero digits from the left. If the digit after the third significant figure is 5 or more, round up the last significant figure. If the digit after the third significant figure is less than 5, keep the last significant figure the same. Trailing zeroes can be kept to maintain the significant figures.
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.
36.8 pentameters has three significant digits.
3 significant digits because first zeros are just placeholders
31500
It is 1570000 rounded to 3 significant figures
The first 3 significant digits of a number are the first 3 digits starting from the left ignoring any leading zeros. So 31456 = 31500 (3 significant digits) The 5 in the "56" rounds the 4 up.
0.0195. Note that leading zeros are non-significant.
Simply cut off the extra digits: 5.00
14.587020 rounded to four significant digits is 14.59
To round numbers to 3 significant figures, identify the first three non-zero digits from the left. If the digit after the third significant figure is 5 or more, round up the last significant figure. If the digit after the third significant figure is less than 5, keep the last significant figure the same. Trailing zeroes can be kept to maintain the significant figures.
