Rules for Counting Significant Figures

There are specific rules for determining the number of significant figures in a measurement. For example, all non-zero digits are significant, leading zeros are not significant, and trailing zeros in a decimal number are significant. Applying these rules helps in identifying how precise a measurement is and in maintaining that precision in calculations.
