Answer: There are five significant figures in 865,010.

Explanation:

When a degree of accuracy is stated by each digit present in a mathematical figure then it is called a significant figure.

Rules for counting significant figures is as follows.

  • Any non-zero digits and zeros present between a non-zero figure are counted. For example, 3580009 has seven significant figures.
  • Trailing zeros are counted in a non-zero figure. For example, 0.00250 has three significant figures.
  • Leading zeros are not counted. For example, 0.0025 has two significant figures.

So, in the given figure 865010 has five significant figures and the trailing zero will not be counted.

Thus, we can conclude that there are five significant figures in 865,010.
