A term Significant Figure refers to all the certain digits and one uncertain digit in a measurement.
170.040 has six significant figures. A significant figure is any non-zero digit or any embedded or trailing zero. Leading zeros are not significant.
The greater the number of significant figures, the greater the precision. Each significant figure increases the precision by a factor of ten. For example pi = 3.14 is accurate to 3 significant figures, while pi = 3.14159 with 6 significant figures is a more accurate representation.
Integers ending in 0 are ambiguous cases. The measurement could be accurate to the units digit and in that case all three digits are significant. But is could be accurate to the nearest ten, in which case, only the first two digits are significant.
All digits are significant in this case. Any digit after a decimal point is a significant digit.
The significant figures in a measurement include all digits measured exactly, plus one estimated digit.
There are four significant figures in the measurement 77.09 meters. Each non-zero digit and any zeros between them are considered significant.
A term Significant Figure refers to all the certain digits and one uncertain digit in a measurement.
3 - assuming the trailing 0s are there for a reason.
The measurement of 417.32 g has five significant figures. Each non-zero digit and any zeros between them are considered significant in a decimal number.
170.040 has six significant figures. A significant figure is any non-zero digit or any embedded or trailing zero. Leading zeros are not significant.
A significant figure in a measurement is a digit that carries meaning contributing to its precision. It includes all the certain digits plus the first uncertain digit. The number of significant figures indicates the precision of the measurement.
It includes all of the digits that have been measured exactly, plus one estimated digit.
A degree is the measurement that measure an angle, such as Newtons measure gravity. It is shown with a small 'o' at the right-hand corner at the end of the last digit number.

A decimal measurement is simply a way of representing a measurement in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right.
1042L rounded off to two significant digits is 1000L. The digit "1" in the hundreds place is the most significant digit, so the number is rounded down to 1000L.
