@d!_†oX!©:
if the number given to us is ,for ex., 0.051939582
now v have to write it correct to 3 significant figures
so will the answer be 0.052 or 0.0519

basically my question is that is the zero after the decimal counted if written b4 another number...???

zara:
yea its ryt...

@adi_toxic
yes after decimal, 0 does count in significant figures.

@d!_†oX!©:
okiee :)
Thanks guys
just wanted to confirm!! :P

Tiryan:
Isn't a significant figure the first non-zero number ? So 3 significant figures would be 0.0519

astarmathsandphysics:
Exactly right tiryan 0.519
