Q

5 rules for significant digits in multiplication and division

A
  1. all non zero numbers are significant (ex. 2,357 = 4 sigfig)
  2. trapped zeros are sig fig
    (ex. 2005= 4 sigfig)
  3. trailing zeros are significant if there is a decimal in the number anywhere (ex. 2.500)
  4. if there is no decimal trailing zeros are not sig figs
  5. starting zeros not significant
    (ex. 0.0025 = 2 sig fig)

Q

rules for applying sig fig for addition and subtraction

A

the final answer MATCHES the LEAST TOTAL digits after the decimal

ex. 0.0005 {4 digits}
+ 26.3 {1 digit}
1.29 {2 digits}
—————————————-
27.5905 = 27.6 {1 digit}
