The numbers you know rather than guess at. (You know that you're x feet Y inches tall ... but how many Z 64th of an inch? You try to measure that but it seems to keep changing).
The measurement of 417.32 g has five significant figures. Each non-zero digit and any zeros between them are considered significant in a decimal number.
The smallest measurement that can be read with a micrometer is typically 0.01 mm or 0.001 cm, depending on the type of micrometer being used. This would have two significant figures in the measurement.
There are 2 significant figures in the measurement 230 kg. The zeros are not significant because they are placeholders.
Significant digits in measurement refer to the digits in a number that carry meaning or contribute to the precision of the measurement. They indicate the level of accuracy or certainty in a measurement, with each significant digit representing a reliable and known value.
Significant figures are important in measurement because they determine how accurate a scientific claim can be. There always has to be a small amount of uncertainty in an answer, because no measurement or calculation is ever 100% absolute.
The significant figure 2.00 has to do with the certainty of a measurement.

The measurement of 417.32 g has five significant figures. Each non-zero digit and any zeros between them are considered significant in a decimal number.
In any measurement, the accurately known digits and the first doubtful digits are called significant figures.
There is 1 significant figure in this measurement.
3 of them.
I think you meant how many significant figures are in 10? The answer is one.
111.0 mm
2 Except that the fact that the figure is given as 3300 g instead of 3.3 kg suggests that the trailing 0s are significant.
