Document Summary

If the number is greater than 10 the decimal can be moved to the left until the number has the proper form. If the number is less than 1 the decimal can be moved to the right until the number is in the proper form. N= - the number of places moved. A zero between digits ( 609ml = 3sf) A zero at the end of a decimal (40. 0 = 3sf) Any digit in the coefficient of scientific notation (4. 0x10^3=2sf) Zeros as placeholders for large numbers (1,000,000) The least significant digits present after a decimal will be the standard for the answer. (2. 23 x 10^7) x (8. 16 x 10^3) = (2. 23 x 8. 16) x (10^7 x 10^3) = 18. 2 x 10^10. Divide coefficient and subtract bottom exponent from top exponent: (3. 16 x 10^7)/(8. 2 x 10^3) = (3. 16/8. 2) x (10^7- Identify the original measurement and the nuit required for final answer.
