whats  significant digits.

jay-bird · Answer

signification figure/digits is a way of simplifying numbers, in a way.

in this number 6.00, there is 1 significant digit, 6, because .00 has no effect on the number, however in 6.09, there are 3 significant digits because 0 is holding the place of tenths, and 6 and 9 are because they are numbers in places.
