This document provides information about significant figures and how they are used in scientific measurements and calculations. It defines significant figures as the reliable digits in a measurement that are known with certainty, indicating the accuracy of the measurement. Rules are presented for determining the number of significant figures in given measurements, as well as rules for performing calculations while preserving the correct number of significant figures based on the least accurate measurement in the calculation. Examples are provided to demonstrate applying the significant figures rules when adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing measurements.
