The rules for identifying significant figures when writing or interpreting numbers are as follows:
All non-zero digits are considered significant. For example, 91 has two significant figures (9 and 1), while 123.45 has five significant figures (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5).
Zeros appearing anywhere between two non-zero digits are significant. Example: 101.1203 has seven significant figures: 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 0 and 3.
Leading zeros are not significant. For example, 0.00052 has two significant figures: 5 and 2.
Trailing zeros in a number containing a decimal point are significant. For example, 12.2300 has six significant figures: 1, 2, 2, 3, 0 and 0. The number 0.000122300 still has only six significant figures (the zeros before the 1 are not significant). In addition, 120.00 has five significant figures since it has three trailing zeros.

How many significant figures should be in resulting calculation?
The answer depends on what operations were used. There should normally not be more significant figures in the answer than in any of the numbers used in the calculation.
How many significant figures should be in a resulting calculation 234 or eight?
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

There should be 3.
How many significant figures are in 4.0005?
Five. If you write numbers representing the numbers in a calculation or an answer, then the number of significant figures is the number of figures written down. The number of significant figures in 351.739002 is 9; Don't confuse "significant figures" with "decimal places". The number above has 6 decimal places.

It should have three.
How many sig figs are in the measurement 0.0034 kg?
One of the rules of significant figures is that leading zeros are not significant; therefore, 0.00034 will only have TWO significant figures (3 and 4).
How many significant figures should 4.365733054945x10-19 be rounded to?
That depends on the context in which it is found, or the calculation(s) involved. It should have no more significant figures than the value with the least number of sig. figs.
