because they are exact numbers. Any such equality will not dictate the sig figs in your final answer. H. More examples: 1. 3340 ft x 1.2 ft = 4.0 x 103 ft2 The answer must have 2 sig dig cause of the 1.2 thus 4000 is incorrect because it only has 1 sig dig. 2. 88359 m2 / 3 m = 30,000 m The answer can only have 1 sig dig cause of the 3. 3.

The opposite of taking the log of a number is to raise 10 to the power of that number. This corresponds to the 10x button on your calculator. The sig fig rule for this function is the opposite of the sig fig rule for logs. Let’s try some numbers: 102.890 = 776.25 102.891 = 778.04 102.892 = 779.83

calculation and round off to the smallest number of significant figures. Here, we’re saying that the distance of 200 m is exact (see the assumption stated in the example), so that number has an infinite number of significant figures, while the time has four significant figures. It would be more realistic to make the following argument.

For the sig fig question that follows: The number of sig figs in the percent deviation is ALWAYS the number of sig figs in the percent deviation. If the value is zero to the correct number of sig figs in the subtraction, then the percent deviation is zero. 2. Checklist for the standard deviation calculation Start with the standard deviation.

number of significant figures. This is the number of significant figures you should have in your answer (the product). Thus the answer to 0.024 x 1244 would be rounded off to contain two significant figures since the factor with the lesser number of significant figures (0.024) has only two such figures.

The number of sig figs in the final calculated value will be the same as that of the quantity with the fewest number of sig figs used in the calculation. In practice, find the quantity with the fewest number of sig figs. In the example below, the quantity with the fewest number of sig figs is 27.2 (three sig figs).
