What are significant figures explain with an example?
All zeros that occur between any two non zero digits are significant. For example, 108.0097 contains seven significant digits. All zeros that are on the right of a decimal point and also to the left of a non-zero digit is never significant. For example, 0.00798 contained three significant digits.
