How do you round 0.00076321 into 3 significant?
Two rules associated with significant figure :-. When rounding off numbers is "If the first figure to be discarded is 5 or more then the previous figure is increased by 1". Zeros must be kept to show the position of the decimal point or to indicate that zero is a significant figure. Then 0.000 must be kept to show the position of the decimal point. 763 are thus the three significant figures and no change is required as the first figure to be discarded is 2 and this is less than 5. The answer to 3 significant figures is 0.000763
How many significant figures are in 9.3220895?

How many significant figures are in 9.090?
If the zeros are significant figures then 900 is correct to 3 significant figures. If rounding off has occurred then the answer could be 1 sf or 2sf. For example : If the original number was 903 and rounding off to the nearest ten was required then 900 is correct to 2 significant figures. If the number was 927 and rounding off to the nearest hundred was required then 900 is correct to 1 significant figure.
How do you round off of 361?
That depends to what number of figures you are rounding to. Rounded to one significant figure, 361 is approximately equal to 400. Rounded to two significant figures, this is equal to 360.

Rules in determining significant figures in four fundamental operations?
The simple rule is: no more significant figures than the least accurate of the values in the computation. For multiplication and division, the result should have as many significant figures as the measured number with the smallest number of significant figures. For addition and subtraction, the result should have as many decimal places as the measured number with the smallest number of decimal places. (Rounding off can be tricky, but that would be another thread)
How would you record a measurement of 16490 grams using only 2 significant figures?
The rule when rounding off numbers is "If the first figure to be discarded is 5 or more then the previous figure is increased by 1". When 16490 is rounded off to 2 significant figures then the first figure to be discarded is 4. As this is less than 5 then the previous figure (6) is not increased by 1. 16490 to 2 significant figures is 16000.
