1. All non-zero digits are significant. For example, 295 has three significant figures.
2. Leading zeroes in front of a decimal are not significant. For example 0.295 has three significant figures.
3. Zeroes between other significant figures are significant. For example 2095 has four significant figures.
4. Trailing zeroes after a decimal are significant. For example 295.0 has four significant figures. And 2950 has three significant figures because the trailing zero does not occur after a decimal.
