Best Answer

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.

When is a number significant or not 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.
