Significant figure Rule 1
Non-zero integers are ALWAYS significant
Significant figure Rule 2
Leading Zeros are NOT significant (zeros to the left)
Significant figure Rule 3
Trailing Zeros are significant only if there is a decimal point present.
Significant figure Rule 4
Captive zeros are always significant
Rounding Numbers Rule 1
#>5 round up
Rounding Numbers Rule 2
#<5 round down
Rounding Numbers Rule 3
#=5 if the number being rounded is even keep it the same, if it is odd round up
