Count the significant figures in a number and round to a specified number of sig figs.

What Are Significant Figures?

Significant figures (sig figs) are the meaningful digits in a number that contribute to its precision. Rules: all non-zero digits are significant, zeros between non-zero digits are significant, leading zeros are not significant, and trailing zeros after a decimal point are significant.

Why Sig Figs Matter

In science and engineering, significant figures indicate the precision of a measurement. When performing calculations, the result should be rounded to match the least precise input. This prevents reporting false precision in experimental results.
