Number of Significant Figures in Result of Multiplication/Examples/73.24 x 4.52

Example of Use of Number of Significant Figures in Result of Multiplication

 * $73 \cdotp 24 \times 4 \cdotp 52 = 331$

Proof
We have that:
 * the number of significant figures $d_m$ in $73 \cdotp 24$ is $4$
 * the number of significant figures $d_n$ in $4 \cdotp 52$ is $3$

So from Number of Significant Figures in Result of Multiplication:


 * the number of significant figures in $73 \cdotp 24 \times 4 \cdotp 52$ can be no more than $\min \set {3, 4}$, that is $3$.
