when we have Avogadro's number with four significant figures 6.022 x 10^23

and we have also this number 2.055 is also with four significant figures so,

the number of atoms = Avogadro's number / 2.055

= 6.022 x 10^23 / 2.055

= 2.930 x 10^23

and we can see that the result is number with four significant figures
