Oh, dude, like, there's only one significant figure in 100 cm. I mean, it's not like we're measuring down to the millimeter here, right? It's just a nice round number with a couple of zeros to make it look fancy.

In 100 cm, there are three significant figures. Significant figures are the digits in a number that carry meaning contributing to its precision. In this case, all three digits (1, 0, and 0) are considered significant because they are all non-zero numbers. Trailing zeros following the decimal point are also considered significant.

Integers ending in zero(s) are ambiguous. There is no way of telling whether the measurement was taken to the nearest metre and expressed in cm (1 significant digit) or measured to the nearest centimetre (3 sig fig).
