Significant digits:
In a number, the digits which contribute to the precision of the number are said to be significant digits.
Rules for determination of significant digits in a number:
- All non-zero digits are significant.
- The zero’s appearing between two non-zero digits are significant.
- The zero’s before the non-zero numbers are not significant.
- Zero’s after non-zero number without decimal are non-significant.
- Zero’s after non-zero number with decimal are significant.
- Zero’s after the decimal point are significant.
- Any numbers with scientific notation are significant.
