How many significant figures does this number have: 0.00506200?

6

Explanation:

The following rules apply when determining the number of significant figure that exists in the given number, 0.00506200

1. Every non-zero digit is a significant number. Therefore, 5, 6, and 2 are significant numbers.

2. Any zero found between 2 non-zero digit or significant numbers is considered a significant number. Therefore, the 0 between 5 and 6 is a significant number.

3. Any zero that appear to the left of a significant number is not a significant number. Therefore, the leading 0 before the decimal point, and the two zeros that come after the decimal point are not significant numbers.

4. Any trailing zero that comes after a decimal point to the right of any non-zero digit is considered significant. Therefore, the two zeros at the end of the decimal number, are significant figures.

Therefore, we can conclude that there are 6 significant figures in 0.00506200.
