Hi amitchandak ,
When rounding significant figures the standard rules of rounding numbers apply, except that non-significant digits to the left of the decimal are replaced with zeros.
Example: 356 rounded to 2 significant digits is 360
In the table below 305.459 is rounded from 0 to 6 significant figures. For comparison the same number is rounded from 0 to 6 decimal places. You can see the difference between rounding for significant figures and rounding to decimal places.
