significant figures
The term for eliminating digits that are not significant is called rounding or truncating. This process involves reducing the number of digits in a calculation to match the precision of the measurement.
There are 3 significant digits in 4.00 and 2 significant digits in 7.0. Zeros between non-zero digits or at the end of a number after a decimal point are considered significant.
Three. All nonzero digits are significant and zeros in between significant digits are always significant.
3 significant digits because first zeros are just placeholders
The number 42.31 pounds has four significant digits.
There are three rules that are used when rounding to a desired number of significant digits (figures): 1. All digits that are not zero, are significant 2. In a number that does not have a decimal point, all zeros between two non-zero digits are significant digits 3. In a number that has a decimal point, all zeros after the leftmost non-zero digit are significant Examples: 12345 rounded to 3 significant digits: 12300, or 1.23 x 104 12.345 rounded to 3 significant digits: 12.3, or 1.23 x 101 0.012345 rounded to 3 significant digits: 0.0123, or 1.23 x 10-2 0.012045 rounded to 3 significant digits: 0.0120, or 1.20 x 10-2 In the last example the zero after 2 is significant. That is the reason for keeping it in the result when rewriting it in powers of 10 notation.
As a result of the rule that you use the definition of the term - such as significant digits - when finding them for a number.
It's called 'rounding' - either up or down.
Five. All nonzero digits are significant and zeros in between significant digits are significant.
A term Significant Figure refers to all the certain digits and one uncertain digit in a measurement.
Five. All nonzero digits are significant and zeros in between significant digits are always significant.
Five. All nonzero digits are significant and zeros in between significant digits are always significant.
Five. All nonzero digits are significant and zeros in between significant digits are always significant.
Four - zeros between significant digits are significant.
to 1 significant digit: 8000 2 significant digits: 7700 3 significant digits: 7660 4 significant digits: 7656. 5 significant digits: 7656.0 6 significant digits: 7656.00 and so on and so forth for forever..........

3 significant digits.
No, it has 3 significant digits.
