When multiplying numbers, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the original number with the fewest significant figures.

0.4 The reasoning: 400 divided by 1000 is 0.4. The significant figures given in both your numbers was 1 (although it could have been more as you didn't use scientific notation so it is not possible to tell). 1 significant figure means the same should be used in the answer: 0.4. And in scientific notation: 4E-1
400.
