Question

The number of significant digits in the number 204.020050 is a 5 b 6 c 8 d 9

Answer 1

There are total 8 significant digits in number 204.020050

Step-by-step explanation:

• We are given a number as 204.020050.

• We are asked to find out the number of significant digits in it.

• Since, we know that non zero numbers are significant digits.

• And, the all the zeros between two non zero numbers must be considered as significant digits.

• But, all final zero's (after the non zero number in right side of decimal point) do not consider as significant digit.

Therefore, on the basis of above rules, the significant digits will be;

                                     2, 0, 4, 0, 2, 0, 0, 5

• But, the last zero would not be considered as significant digit.
• Thus, there are total 8 significant digits in number 204.020050.
