To use the calculator, enter your mathematical expression and press Calculate.
The sig fig calculator and counter will compute and count the number of sig figs in the result with steps.
The following sig fig rules are used:
- Addition (+) and subtraction (-) round by the least number of decimals.
- Multiplication (* or ×) and division (/ or ÷) round by the least number of significant figures.
- Logarithm (log, ln) uses the input's number of significant figures as the result's number of decimals.
- Antilogarithm (n^x.y) uses the power's number of decimals (mantissa) as the result's number of significant figures.
- Exponentiation (n^x) only rounds by the significant figures in the base.
- To count trailing zeros, add a decimal point at the end (e.g. 1000.) or use scientific notation (e.g. 1.000 × 10^3 or 1.000e3).
- Zeros have all their digits counted as significant (e.g. 0 = 1, 0.00 = 3).
- Rounds when required, after parentheses, and on the final step.
