      Many people get confused by zeroes, and whether to count them as significant figures. Leading zeroes do not count, but trailing zeroes do count as significant figures. If you forget, just convert a value to scientific notation and count the significant digits. Related End-of-Chapter Exercises: 1, 2, 3, 11, 17.

      First and foremost, you need to be able to tell how many sig. figs. are in a number. Here is a recap of the 3 rules I gave you: 1) If the number is in scientific notation: The number of digits shown is equal to the number of sig. figs.

For the computation (6.341 x 9.24) = ? The calculator gives me: 58.59084 The actual answer is 3 sig figs (due to the 9.24, as it has the least number of sig figs). Answer is 58.6

Only has 3 SF’s, so answer needs rounded to 3 SF’s. Decimal point causes the “0” to count as a SF. Because this is multiplication, the answer to this part can only have 2 SF’s.
