1. Multiplication or division: keep the same number of significant figures in the product or
quotient as is in the least precise factor.
Examples:
3.1 * 25.6=79.360000...
= 79
6.7/981.0=0.0068297655...
= 0.0068
keep only 2 significant digits
2. Powers or roots: keep the same number of significant figures as in the original number.
Example:
Sqrt(38) 6.164414...
keep only 2 significant digits
= 6.2
(11.6)² = 134.5600000...
= 135
Exercises
3. Addition or subtraction: Round off, to the number of decimal places determined by the
number with the least number of places beyond the decimal point.
