Top 4 Tips for How to Multiply & Divide w/ Significant Figures

Sig Figs: Multiplication & Division In chemistry, calculations are performed with measurements taken in lab (even if they are just problems from a textbook) and these measurements were taken with instruments that have different degrees of precision associated with them. Therefore, an answer to a calculation involving measurements can only be as precise as your least precise measurement. If the calculation involves multiplication and/or division, then the answer can have the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the least amount of sig figs.
