A leading significant digit is the first occurring non-zero integer in a number. For example, the leading significant digit in the number 127 is 1. Let this leading significant digit be denoted x. Benford's law notes that the frequencies of x in many datasets are approximated by the probability distribution shown in the table. 1 3 4 5 7 8 9.
