How to Find Significant Figures (Easy Method)

How many significant figures are in a number? Don't memorize complex rules ... here's THREE that will get you the right answer each time.

[@tonidelrey1910]

you explain better than my teacher smh

[@lichirin]

still relevant after 4 years tbh

[@art7046]

Sameee

[@CamayanBell]

Toni Del Rey Ong 😂

[@nra9432]

So true

[@not_owa]

People have been using "smh" since 8 years ago!?!? I am baffled because i have just stumbled upon that abbreviation 2 years ago. I thought it was a new thing made by the younger generation. Apparently, i live under a rock😅

[@soobinsweat6537]

Omg 😭 I fell asleep in Chemistry today because I was really tired I had stayed up till 2 finishing homework so I got home and started looking at my homework and realized I had no idea what to do so I looked up how to find significant digits and this video popped up. This helps so much Thank you 😩

[@alokbaghel2043]

I thought it was of physics

[@candyqueenroblox734]

Lmao

[@andrewmc8871]

😩 WHY U HAVE TO USE THIS EMOJI DAT SUS 👀

[@depitesenate8247]

very helpful,my chemistry teacher spent 3 weeks on it ,I still wasn't able to do one by myself. now I get it, thank you

[@OperationRevelation]

I wish you were my chemistry teacher!!!!!!!!! All your videos are perfect! You've helped me so much this semester!

[@alinaowo1141]

i bet your in a job rn

[@TheEspada34]

THANK YOU!!! my chemistry teacher doesnt even teach us she just gives us the work i wish i found this last week -__-

[@bamigbolaolusola7240]

You are better than my tutor God bless you and your easy method

[@Antoine.Gagnon]

In 20 mins of watching your videos, I understood what my teacher tried to explain to us in 2 months.. And we speak French here so that's an exploit!

[@twistedwizard6646]

Easiest rules ever!! I now know every method to point out significant figures.Thank u so much

[@Mr_John_Herbert]

Ok Thank u so much. Your more useful than my chemistry teacher.

[@TheMetalProxy]

A good review for me and an easy way to learn for others. There are chemistry grades you will be saving with this video :)

[@sakshidonde1895]

Thank you so much to clear the concept of significant figures It really helped me 😀

[@playboikeni5036]

Thank god for channel. I wasn’t paying attention in class and I had work I didn’t know how to do

[@Nfrat20]

Thanks so much! This actually really helped me! I was having a ton of trouble but now it makes sense! Thanks for teaching me!

[@gregschratz4648]

Seriously, thank you. You made my life sooooo much easier.

[@Wehfi]

[@josephhansonito4822]

Thank u it's easier now

[@Tossboi]

THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS SO HELPFUL I'M IN A DILEMMA OF FINDING THIS DAMN SIGNIFICANT FIGURES BUT THIS VID HELPS ME SO MUCH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THIS

[@hexagonproductions2019]

How tf is every other video 15 mins long this one made perfect sense

[@PowerofDreamsHONDA1]

yeah, you're right I'd checked it on an online sig fig calculator and it gave me three but I wasn't sure why. Thanks for the explanation

[@UyenNguyen-yl3iz]

simple rules but so helpful thank you so much now i don't have to remember all the other complicated rules that screw up my mind

[@chemistNATE]

@nuggetsmccheese That has 2 SigFigs, because leading zeroes NEVER COUNT. Only the "12" counts in your number.

[@labdogdrum]

Thank you. I have a chemistry test on SF and this video cleared it up thanks

[@tushara9935]

Thank you so much ....now it's very easy to solve them !!!!😊

[@elijah_3473]

Thanks you are so helpful

[@not_owa]

Thank you very much! You made it so easy to understand!

[@madisonkelleher7914]

What about the numbers after the Demical point

[@mr.naptime]

i need help with that too

[@mr.naptime]

ok so they do count there you go madison the numbers after the decimal do count

[@avaspencer1366]

all numbers that arnt zero count. Zeros only count if they are after a decimal or part or after a number other than zero

[@mr.naptime]

Ava Spencer You are three years too late. XD

[@iffiwarsi]

hahah

[@safalkunwor857]

Thank you for teaching me this topic😇😇

[@LittleHatori]

😭Why did my teacher have to make it so complicated?!?

[@moderndayentertainer.9516]

Quick and simple. Thanks.

[@khashidehghani3282]

Thank you so much you made this concept incredibly simple very shortly! :D

[@hobojoe_7608]

Wow, what an amazing video, maths is so much fun! Keep learning to make your dreams come true, set goals and you never know what you might achieve!! Have a good day.

[@richiesammells3761]

This is really helpful thank you to share a knowledge

[@ashleyalzamora3008]

I understand you way better then my chemistry teacher

[@siphilipe]

And you deserve a big THANKS.

[@chrissygravitt9196]

OH My! I've been reading stuff online to figure this out so I can help my daughter. Your video made so, so easy to understand! Thank you,,sir you have a new subscriber!

[@gamerboynatty5205]

nice explaining you are amazing

[@thomasgorski710]

omg thank you so much this helps with my math class you explain it so well.

[@ZhangK71]

Great. One of the few videos that ACTUALLY HELPED!

[@xhesidap6990]

super clear, short and easy

[@w5527]

what about numbers like 8.01 or 91.50?

[@armvndoe6026]

you have three significant figures since the zero is behind the decimal point

[@gman71157]

I think he means zeroes that are trailing or leading all all of the other numbers, so with something like 8.01 the rules would not apple to the zero between 8 and 1.......this i think falls under the third rule......just speculating, dont take my word for it!!

[@codytheawe5omeizawe5ome33]

I understand this. Good job!

[@leocornejo1178]

Thank you so much i have a final for chemistry tommarow and this is one of the few things i struggle with when my teacher taught me gave me like 8 rules but now i understand thank you :)

[@poojithamecharla2916]

Super.... Sir... 🙏🏻🙏🏻... Thank u so much sir

[@tttuu3309]

This is a awesome video ! I watch more then 3 vdo but finally y save soul!

[@katelynswiderski3043]

If the decimal point is understood but not written (i.e. the 1,200 vs 1,200.00), then is the # of sig figs still 2, or is it 4?

[@ShanShan-wi4mf]

Very helpful and concise! Thanks

[@scotthouse5430]

I just want to say 1 thing: god bless you, and thank you

[@mihaelaiorg]

Excellent video, very clearly explained! Thank you!

Thank you Soooo much thanks to you i got 100 on my quiz!!

[@watchrayyin]

exellent video!! best video so far...

[@RookieParkour11]

Thank you!!!! I have to do this for honors chemistry packet. Helped alott!!

[@aarondaniele.sarmiento2845]

Thank you for the clear explanation :)

[@aarondaniele.sarmiento2845]

but what if the number is 0.0045 how many significant figures does it have?

[@ntiana662]

Thank you soo much for simplifying the rules!

[@charleschua7990]

OHH MY GODD thankyouu bro for helpingg 😀😀

[@abilicious9921]

Thank you so much! I get it now.

You earned yourself another sub and like m8 good job :D

[@nra9432]

This was really helpfilull. 😂 i was really having problem understanding those by myself.

[@Mo3athY520]

5 sig figs. => 0.842836 You only apply the sig figs rule when you get the final total. (after you divide 170.14/201.979)

[@y...destinitychaneel4745]

I am from india . Bahut bda fan .

[@16navap]

You just saved my grade i owe you

[@Master63y]

[@jerseygurlinmaryland]

Finally. I get it. Thank you.

[@Nicole-qe3jx]

Thank you~~~!! I already understand it :3

[@andrewhernandez9049]

if I am to calculate and show correct significant figures Im still lost how do you know when to leave 3 numbers from the answer or 5 numbers for the answer?

[@UyenNguyen-yl3iz]

in that case you gotta know the sig fig rules for multiplication, division, addition and subtraction

[@rehenapervin4070]

Nicely explained

[@bzippo]

Thank you this video helped out more them my chem teacher did :)
