All non zero integer are significant
Exact number have unlimited number of significant figure
Zero between the non-zero number are significant
Zero before non-zero integer are non significant
Zero after non-zero integer which are not followed by decimal are not significant
Zero after non zero integer which are followed by decimal point are significant
If zero come after non-zero integer and come after decimal point they are significant
While doing addition and subtraction , the answer should have same number of decimal point as that of limiting term. Limiting term is the number which have least decimal place
While doing multiplication and division the answer should have number of significant figure as that of limiting term. Limiting term is number with least number of significant figure
While converting units answer should have same number of significant figure as the number started with.
