Q. Why do we need to consider significant digits in measurements? 


Answer:

Engineers and scientists while dealing with numbers of either a large or small magnitude of a physical quantity is interested in the accuracy of a value. As they mostly work on estimation but scientists especially physicists are more concerned about the accuracy of these numbers and the numbers of reliably known digits in a value are known as significant figures.
