A significant figure is basically counting how many digits there are:
In this case this number is to FOUR significant figures because there are FOUR digits.
Here's some more examples:
When you have zero's in front of the number, these do not count as digits: so, if you had 0.0034, you only count the 3 and 4 as digits so this would be to TWO significant figures.
However, if you have 0.003404, you must count the zero in between the two four's because this is part of the number - there are FOUR significant figures here.

How do you change things in to significant figures?
The rules for identifying significant figures when writing or interpreting numbers are as follows: All non-zero digits are considered significant. For example, 91 has two significant figures (9 and 1), while 123.45 has five significant figures (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). Zeros appearing anywhere between two non-zero digits are significant. Example: 101.1203 has seven significant figures: 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 0 and 3. Leading zeros are not significant. For example, 0.00052 has two significant figures: 5 and 2. Trailing zeros in a number containing a decimal point are significant. For example, 12.2300 has six significant figures: 1, 2, 2, 3, 0 and 0. The number 0.000122300 still has only six significant figures (the zeros before the 1 are not significant). In addition, 120.00 has five significant figures since it has three trailing zeros.
346.7500 has five significant figures?
No, it actually has seven significant figures. Basic rule: (1)When number has decimal point---count from left to right counting all numbers after the first non-zero number ex.-->.009367 has 4 sig figs ex.-->9.367 has 4 sig figs ex.-->9.367000 has 7 sig figs (2)When number doesn't have a decimal point---count right to left counting all numbers after the first non-zero number ex.-->12 has 2 sig figs ex.-->120 has 2 sig figs ex.-->1207800 has 5 sig figs
Holophane ballast re400mh48hrw how do i wire them and are they 120 or 220?
On your model number the figures after 400MH are the voltages for that ballast. A 40 represents 240 volts, 12 represents 120 volts and yours 48 represents 480 volts. Looks like this is a industrial fixture and not meant for residential use.

What is 124.683 to 2 significant digits?
124.68 significant figures means figures after the decimal, in the case after the 8, if the number after the significant figure is 4 or lower the last SF (significant figure) stays the same, if 5 or higher then you add one. for example the number 124.683 to one SF is 124.7, because 8 means you round the last number up (add one) * * * * * The above answer could no be more incorrect! It has confused decimal digits with significant digits. 124.683, to 2 sig digits is 120. The two non-zero numbers 1 and 2 and everything else 0.

How many kilometers is equivalent to 75 miles?
1.2 * 102 (scientific notation, two significant figures)120 (rounded off to two significant figures)120.7008 (seven significant figures)The ratio between kilometers and miles is 1mile=1,604 kilometers / 1 kilometer=0,6234 miles (aproximated). To make it simple if you want to convert miles in kilometers just multiply your distance in miles by 1,6. If you want to convert kilometers in miles just dived your distance in kilometers by 1,6. This will not give you the exact value but it will be very close. 75miles=120,3kilometers
