Define significant figures (6 rules):
All nonzero digits are significant.
All zeros found between nonzero digits are significant.
Leading zeros (zeros left of the first nonzero digit) are not significant.
Zeros trailing for a whole number that ends in a decimal point are significant (if the decimal point is not written, it is not significant).
Zeros to the right of the decimal point are all significant.
Irrationally defined numbers (like Pi) have an infinite number of significant figures.
