What do you meant by significant figures?

Answer

Significant figures are those meaningful numbers which are certainly known uncertainity is experimental or calculated values is expressed by significant figures. To express uncertainity, the definite number is written first and the number written at end is uncertain. Significant figures are determined by certain rules.
