124.68
significant figures means figures after the decimal, in the case after the 8, if the number after the significant figure is 4 or lower the last SF (significant figure) stays the same, if 5 or higher then you add one.
for example the number 124.683 to one SF is 124.7, because 8 means you round the last number up (add one)

The above answer could no be more incorrect! It has confused decimal digits with significant digits.
124.683, to 2 sig digits is 120. The two non-zero numbers 1 and 2 and everything else 0.
The value of 2 in the number: 124,683 represents 20,000
50.4 has three significant digits.
2 significant figures.
12,300 has 3 significant figures.
The significant figures in a number are the digits that carry meaning contributing to its precision. In the number 0.56, both digits are considered significant because they are not placeholders. Therefore, the significant number of 0.56 is 2.
5 significant digits because the 2 zeros are in between other significant digits.
009999991 rounded to 2 significant digits is 1.0e7
2711 rounded to 2 significant digits is 2700
2 of them are significant.
There are 5 significant digits in number 14500. To count for a given number as to how many significant digits does it have, look for the first zero form left and decimal point. For ex sample 0045 has 2 significant digits 0.0045 has 2 significant digits 0.4500 has 4 significant digits.
The value of 2 in the number: 124,683 represents 20,000
50.4 has three significant digits.
There are 2 significant digits: 5 and 4
There are 3 significant digits in 4.00 and 2 significant digits in 7.0. Zeros between non-zero digits or at the end of a number after a decimal point are considered significant.
Any non-zero digit is significant. Example: 352.12 has 5 significant digits. A zero is significant if it appears between non-zero digits. Example: 504.2 has 4 significant digits. A zero is also significant when it appears after the decimal point, AFTER other digits. In this case, it was only added to indicate a significant digit. Example: 5.30 has 3 significant digits. A zero after other numbers may or may not be significant. Use scientific notation to unambiguously indicate the number of significant digits. Example: 4500 has 2 significant digits. It may have 3 or 4 significant digits, but to be safe, assume 2 significant digits. A zero is NOT significant if it comes after the decimal point, BEFORE any other digits. In this case, it is only used to put the digits in their proper place. Example: 0.0024 has 2 significant digits.
Significant digits are digits that provide useful information, for instance 123 has 3 significant digits and 30010 has 4 significant digits. So basically zeros aren't significant unless they are between two other numbers. 0.1020 has only 4 significant digits. A+: 4
to 1 significant digit: 8000 2 significant digits: 7700 3 significant digits: 7660 4 significant digits: 7656. 5 significant digits: 7656.0 6 significant digits: 7656.00 and so on and so forth for forever..........
