What are the rules in multiplication and division of significant figures?
The accuracy of the answer is limited to the LEAST significant figures of the input. So if two measured quantities are multiplied or divided, one of which is accurate to only two significant figures, and other to six significant figures, the answer is only accurate to two significant figures. HOWEVER: use all the figures you have for the calculation, and then round your answer to two significant figures. Also, however, remember that if you are multiplying by an actual exact number, as in doubling, the significant figures of that 2 is unlimited, so the answer is only limited by the significant figures of the number you are doubling.
