Oh, dude, the leftmost nonzero digit is basically the first digit in a number that isn't zero. Like, it's the number that kicks off the party and gets things going. So, if you see a number like 503, the leftmost nonzero digit would be 5. Hope that clears things up for ya!
You can do this by taking the 9-digit complement of the number 100000, adding it to the number 164502423, removing the leftmost digit from the result, and adding it to the number: 164502423 -100000 take the complement and add it: 164502423 +999899999 = 1164402422 remove the leftmost digit and add it to the rightmost one: 164402422 + 1 = 164402423 and there you have it.
It is the first or leftmost digit: 4.
I'm not sure... I'm looking for the answer of that question 2
When rounding 5555 to 2 significant figures, we start counting from the leftmost non-zero digit. In this case, the leftmost non-zero digit is 5. The next digit after 5 is 5, which is greater than or equal to 5, so we round up the leftmost non-zero digit. Therefore, 5555 rounded to 2 significant figures is 5600.
