| How many SF: 1001 | 4....If there is a digit on either end and its not a decimal, they all count as significant |
| How many SF: 0.000579 | 3....zeros before digits in a decimal are not SF |
| How many SF: 123,000 | 3...Only 3 because zeros at the end of long numbers don't count |
| How many SF: 10.000 | 5....THey all count since its a decimal |
