How many sig figs does this number have?

26
Suppose we have the number 0.004562 and want 2 significant figures. The trailing zeros are placeholders, so we do not count them. Next we round 4562 to 2 digits, leaving us with 0.0046 .


Keeping this in consideration, how many significant figures does 10.0 have?

two significant digits

Also, how many significant figures does 100 have? If you want the measurement to be 100 with three significant figures (implying an uncertainty of ), you could write it as 100.
