- All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 654, 6.54 and 65.4 all have three significant figures.
- All zero’s between integers are always significant. For example: 5005, 5.005 and 50.05 all have four significant figures.
- All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.0078 has two significant figures.
- All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 4.500, 45.00 and 450.0 all have four significant figures.
- All zeroes used solely for spacing the decimal point are not significant. For example : 8000 has one significant figure.
