# Determine the number of significant figure in the following.$0.2370$ m

##### SOLUTION
The given quantity is 0.2370$g{ cm }^{ -3 }.$
For a number with decimals, the trailing zeroes are significant. Hence, besides digits, 2,3and7,0 that appears after the decimal point is also a significant figure.
$\therefore$ There are 4 significant figures
