    In this case, the actual volume might be 2.94 L or possibly 3.02 L, so all three digits are considered significant. [1] Thus, there are three significant figures in this example. The following types of digits are not considered significant: [2] Leading zeros. For instance, 013 kg has two significant figures—1 and 3—while the leading zero is ...
