Answer:

Digits

When a number is expressed in scientific notation, the number of significant digits (or significant figures) is the number of digits needed to express the number to within the uncertainty of calculation. For example, if a quantity is known to be 1.234+/-0.002, four figures would be significant

The number of significant figures of a multiplication or division of two or more quantities is equal to the smallest number of significant figures for the quantities involved. For addition or subtraction, the number of significant figures is determined with the smallest significant figure of all the quantities involved. For example, the sum 10.234+5.2+100.3234 is 115.7574, but should be written 115.8 (with rounding), since the quantity 5.2 is significant only to +/-0.1.
