What is the difference between 6500. and 6500? The first one would be considered to have a terminal decimal. This means that instead of simply writing the number as it is, a decimal is added to the end to represent significant figures (terminal decimals are most commonly used in scientific notation). Therefore, when 6500 would only be considered as to having 2 significant figures, 6500. has 4 significant figures.
Five. Zeros in between significant digits are significant and trailing zeros that are after the decimal are significant.
In the number 1.020, there are four significant figures. The zeros on either side of the decimal point are considered significant because they are between nonzero digits. This means that all the digits in 1.020 are significant and contribute to the precision of the number.
All the digits are significant in this case. A zero between other digits is always significant, and all zeros after the decimal point are significant.
All of them.All zeroes between non-zero digits are significant.All zeroes after a decimal point are significant.
