not significant

Zeros that show only where the decimal point falls are not significant. For example, the number 470,000 has just two significant figures  4 and 7 . The zeros just show that the 4 represents hundreds of thousands and the 7 represents tens of thousands. Therefore, these zeros are not significant.
