Significant figures: These are the numbers that tell us about the correct measurements of the values.
There are certain rules for the significant figures:
1) All non-zero numbers are significant.
2) Zeroes between two non-significant numbers are considered significant.
3) Leading zeroes i.e. zeroes that lie before decimal are considered non-significant.
4) Trailing zeroes i.e. zeroes that lie after the decimal are considered significant. for example, 32.00 has 4 significant figures.
