In this exercise, we should try to determine significant figures in calculations. For this reason, let's summarize the rules learned in this chapter for multiplication and division.

Rule: For multiplication and division, significant figures are considered. The number of significant figures in these calculations are limited by a limiting term. The number of significant figures for the overall result should be the same number of significant figures of the limiting term. The limiting term here is the number that contains the smallest number of significant figures.
