Answer:

1 significant figure is the Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros are not trailing after the digit 6. Hence they are not significant.

Rules:

Non zero digits are always significant.

For example 2356 has 4 significant figures

Zeros between Non zero digits are always significant.

3007 has 4 significant figures

In a decimal trailing zeros are significant.

For example 0.0003 has 1 significant figures and 0.003000 has 4 significant figures.
