How many significant figures in the number 20?
Significant digits refer to the number of digits that are known versus the number of digits that are estimated. So if the number 20 is an approximation, there is only one significant digit, which is the 2. However, if 20 is accurate to the ones place, then there are 2 significant digits. 20.00 has four significant digits, because it is known that the number is accurate down to the hundredths place.

How many significant figures do you use for logarithms for example ln 3.02?
The number of significant figures after the decimal place matches the number of significant figures before the computation of the logarithm. Thus ln(3.02) would compute to 1.105. Three significant figures to four significant figures (3, after the decimal place).
How many significant figures are in the number 0.00340500?
0.00340500 would be counted as 6 significant figures. The way you count is (from the left) the first non-zero digit would be the 1st significant digit. However, any zeros that appear behind that first significant digit is still counted not skipped. The value, rounded off to one significant figure, is 0.003. Do note that even if the number is exact, you have to add the extra zeros behind. For example, state 5 in 3 significant figures would mean the answer would be 5.00 The difference between 5 and 5.00 is that the two extra zeros indicate a level of precision that is 100 times greater. These zeros are not merely place holders.
Who many significant numbers does 0.5 have?

What is the rule about significant figures when multiplying or dividing measurement?
the decimal place in the quotient or product should be based in the decimal place of the given with the least significant figures
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.
