5 significant figures Each figure that contributes to the accuracy of a value is considered significant. So 2.9979 has 5 significant figures. The 10^8 does not contribute to the accuracy as it simply indicates the number of trailing zeroes (i.e. 299,790,000) that are simply a result of rounding from the actual value (299,792,458)
