Multiplying/Dividing Significant Figures
- Round the result to the least number of significant figures among the numbers being multiplied or divided.
Dimensional Analysis Steps
- Write given value and units.
- Draw conversion factor and place units appropriately.
- Write equivalence ratios filling in known relationships.
- Cross out units.
- Solve for the desired value.
Scientific Notation Rules
