and how many sig figs are in 1.004 x 10^5?

Sig Fig help?
Man, tell me about it. I deal with sig sigs every day of my life, and I hate them SO FREAKING MUCH.





100 is not the same as 1. Sig figs are basically a way to make accurate measurements among the scientific community (remember, this includes internationalities). It's a way to make sure rounding does not affect the product (which is weird, because you think it does....but just go with me here...)





In 1.004 x 10^5 there are 4 sig figs


in 100400 there are also 4 sig figs





Middle zeros count.


End zeros dont.


Decimal zeros count.





Good luck bud, they will follow you the rest of your life.
