What are significant figures?

The term significant figures refer to the number of important single digits (0 through 9 inclusive) in the coefficient of an expression in scientific notation.

All zeros that occur between any two non-zero digits are significant. For example, 108.0097 contains seven significant digits. All zeros that are on the right of a decimal point and also to the left of a non-zero digit are never significant. For example, 0.00798 contained three significant digits.

Hence, 43.8 has 3 significant figures and 1 decimal.
