Answer:

No, It has 5 significant figures

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the number of significant figures, we take into account the following rules:

1. All digits different from zero are significant figures

2. If there is a zero between two significant figures, this zero is also a significant figure.

So, in this case, we have 4 digits different from zero and one zero between 2 digits. then, we have 5 significant figures.
