Can you give me the low down of sigfigs? I do not want any nonsense answers, please.
Thanks a ton. (link)

I hated Chemistry. SigFigs were really confusing. If you still want help, here's what I can remember.
-All numbers 1-9 are sigfigs. Example: 9461 has 4 sigfigs
-All zeros between sigfigs are sigfigs. Example: 1000606 has 7 sigfigs
-All zeros ending a number with a decimal are sigfigs. Example: 38.0 has 3 sigfigs
-Zeros ending a number without a decimal are NOT sigfigs. Example: 3800 has 2 sigfigs
Here are some more examples.
5013500.600 has 10 sigfigs
83030 has 4 sigfigs
1 has 1 sigfig
10 has 1 sigfig
100,000,000 has 1 sigfig
100,000,000.0 has 10 sigfigs
1.0 has 2 sigfigs
3.20 has 3 sigfigs
I hope you understand it better.
