When multiplying and dividing measured quantities the number of significant figures in the result should be equal to the number of significant figures in what?
The number of significant figures should be equal to the significant figures in the least precise measurement.
What are the rules in multiplication and division of significant figures?
The accuracy of the answer is limited to the LEAST significant figures of the input. So if two measured quantities are multiplied or divided, one of which is accurate to only two significant figures, and other to six significant figures, the answer is only accurate to two significant figures. HOWEVER: use all the figures you have for the calculation, and then round your answer to two significant figures. Also, however, remember that if you are multiplying by an actual exact number, as in doubling, the significant figures of that 2 is unlimited, so the answer is only limited by the significant figures of the number you are doubling.
How many significant figures in this number 0.115?
Three significant figures are in this number.
How many significant figures are in the number 31.6901?
There are six significant figures in this number (i.e. all the figures here are significant).
How many significant figures are in the number 10.01?
There are 4 significant figures in this number.
How many significant figures are needed when multiplying two numbers?
It depends on the number of significant figures from two numbers you are multiplying. But when multiplying you use the same number of significant figures from the numbers you are multiplying with the LEAST number of significant figures. Example: 92,873.239 * 2 = 200,000 (because the number 2 has only 1 significant figure even tho 92,873.239 has 8 significant figures your answer still only has 1 significant figure)
When multiplying how do you know the proper amount of significant figures?
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
When multiplying significant digits what is the number of digits allowed in an answer?
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
How many significant figures should a student record when multiplying or dividing?
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
When multiplying or dividing measurements how many significant figures should the answer contain?
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
When multiplying and dividing measured quantities the number of significant figures in the result should be equal to the number of significant figures in what?
The number of significant figures should be equal to the significant figures in the least precise measurement.
When blank two numbers the result should have the same number of significant figures as the factor with the smaller number of significant figures?

When multiplying or dividing measurements the answer has the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the most significant figure?
When multiplying/dividing measurements the answers needs to have the same amound significant figures as the one with the LEAST amount
What is the significant figures for 13.5 x 3.00?
When multiplying, the number of significant numbers in the answer should be the same as the fewest significant figures in the problem. Both 13.5 and 3.00 have three significant figures, so the answer will have three significant figures. 13.5 x 3.00 = 40.5 exactly (no need to round).
What is the significant figures 4.884 x 2.25?
4.884 has four significant figures and 2.25 has three significant figures. 4.884 x 2.25 = 10.989 = 11.0 rounded to three significant figures. When multiplying or dividing, the result must have the same number of significant figures as the number in the problem with the fewest significant figures.
What is the number of significant figures permitted in the product obtained by multiplying 2.445 by 0.120?
4
When multiplying and diving measured quantities the number of significant figures in the result should be equal to the number of significant figures in?
The final answer.is only as accurate as the least accurate component in the calculation, so use the significant figures of the measurement with the fewest.
