Don't be confused by Significant Figures! It will JUST MAKE SENSE with this video! An introduction to significant figures. Discusses how to round for multiplication and division using significant digits.
Dude you made this really simple thank you very much! ๐
thnx 4 the help
thanx man that really help your awesome for putting a video about this thats why i love you tube everything is in here thanx
Wonderful service you did for students. Much love!
i understand your question, but 1,600 only has two significant figures, so you don’t have to worry. zeroes at the end of a number without any decimal places (like the two zeros in 1,600) don’t count as significant figures. you correctly said that the answer could be reported as 1.6 x 10^3, and that’s just a different way of writing 1,600. you should watch my video about zeros if you’re confused about which zeroes are significant and which aren’t.
How would you turn 895.23 into 2 significant figures?
that is a very picky way of doing significant figures, and–honestly–pretty much no one does it that way. in these videos, i say round up if you have a 5, so 3.385 always becomes 3.39. that’s what like 99% of people do. i’m sorry if your teacher wants you to do it the complicated way!
it’s always the lowest number. so there’s 3 sig figs in 231, and 2 sig figs in 24, right? so you’ll round your answer to 2 sig figs. when i divide 231 by 24, i get 9.625, so i’ll round that to 2 sig figs, and it will be 9.6
make sense?
i do the same number of digits first because it’s easier. if you have questions about multiple digits, watch the next video, significant figures 1.2
thank YOU so much! i love to hear that my videos are helpful. good luck in chemistry!
THIS IS SO HELPFUL.
my chem teacher is so bad at teaching.
Thanks alot dude. Helped ALOT!! i had no idea what was going on in chem class but know that’s changed!
nice of you to try to help people with this
5:09 hahaha multiplecation.
omg thank you soooo much ^_^ very helpful!
she said that because she’s super picky. the idea is that 5 is right in the middle so if you round the number so it’s even, sometimes you’ll go up and sometimes you’ll keep it the same. statistically-speaking, it doesn’t make sense and it’s not really a sound argument, but if it keeps your teacher happy, you should probably do it.
Thank you very very much, the teacher didn’t have alot of time left to fully got through this with us ๐
however, what happens if you have
NNN.NN X NN.N?
okl, just got to the end of the vid ๐
yes, that’s right, because there’s only ONE significant figure in 6, so the answer should only have one as well. you could write it as “40”, or if you want to use scientific notation, you can also write it as 4 x 10^1.
@Untravaersil
If you have an area that looks roughly like a square and the sides measure roughly 6 ft each, then yes, the answer is 40 sq.ft.
However, notice the emphasis on “measurement” and “roughly”.
If instead you measured the sides with a higher accuracy of 6 ft 0 in each, then the correct answer is 36 ft.
If you didn’t measure at all and 6 times 6 are exact integers (as you’re doing a problem in math class), the correct answer is 36.
This is pure genious, Best revision EVER
@tdewitt451 What if it was something like:
67 X 8 = ???
There’s 2 digits on one side and only 1 digit on the other
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I get it finally. Lol. I have two bad teachers. Lol. Thanks Man. I finally got it. Lol and haha. ๐
how many significant figures is this? 40,000? 5? or 2?
@swiitiichiil do you mean that 1.50 is what your calculator gives you, or 1.50 is what you want to round to? if it’s the calculator, it might have to do with what kind you’re using; i’m using a TI-83, which spits out many numbers after the decimal. if, on the other hand, 1.50 is the number you want as your final answer, that’s not right, because the zero at the end counts as a significant figure (watch my video on zeros), and you can’t have three significant figures in the final answer.
Thank you!
You saved me from Chem Honors my teacher can’t teach for crap. I wish you were my teacher rofl. Thanks!
That’s a repeating decimal. Just saying
Great!!! it helped a lot,
This helped a lot man, damn my chemistry teacher is soo damn horrible at his job, I don’t think anyone in the class even understand what the fuck he was talking about.
Thank God for this video, I have a test on this tomorrow
@tdewitt451 i thought 6 and 6 were counting numbers and not meausrements therefore it has infanate sig figs and its 36
@josh3367 good question. just because it’s 6 doesn’t mean it’s a “counting” number. if it’s 6 apples, then it’s a counting number (infinite sig figs). if it’s 6 feet, it’s a measurement with one sig fig. 6 people, counting; 6 pounds, measurement. make sense? here, i just want to show the basics, so i’m doing sig fig rules with all numbers–i’m essentially assuming that they’re all measurements.
Hahahahaha i love u guy in the yellow thnxs so much!
are the rules the same for adding and subtracting?
@aznxboy1228 watching videos on significant figures on christmas eve? i’d think you were a pre-med at MIT.
@tdewitt451 aw! why would you ever accuse me of being one?
thank you so much this video is a life saver my teacher cant teach for anything making this look so complicated then after watching this u make it look easy n i finaly get this thanks again ^w^
I swear, this will f*ck me up in Calculus.
@swiitiichiil its the sme dont add zeros
thank you so much this is a perfect tutorial.
lol, if you are smart you figured it is easy,lol
7.09 how do u knw 1 and 5 is gonna stay :s his is what I need help :d
why you chose all numbers that have the same number of digits.so you did all special cases.what if we divide 3 digit num by 2 digit num?
Love you dude (no homo)
what about 45/456? is it to 2 or 3 sig fig?
lol very helpful
hi mate thanx for this useful piece of information , BUT I THINK there is sth wrong if u go through (56×28)again … , UR ANSWER was 1.600 which has 4 significant figs and u needed only 2 of them .. i do not know if i’m right but any ways watch from 5:15 thanx
@flashing511 here are a few things that may help. 1,600 has only two significant figures (watch my “significant figures and zero” video for more info on that). but remember that i’m from the US, where 1,600 means one thousand six hundred. in much of the rest of the world, 1,600 means something a little less than 2: one and six tenths. in the US, we’d write that number as 1.600, and 1.600 would have four significant figures. does that make sense?
@tdewitt451 thanx yes ,,,it does . sorry for interrupting ๐
god im really slow in significant figures
@TFrench009 you’re doing a subtracting problem. you want to watch my video “addition and subtraction with significant figures.” that will tell you the answer you need.
Man…. chemistry is so hard my teacher is really bad at explaining things. but thats america for you
omg I freaken love you..I now understand this because of you!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So…….. sig. fig. are used to keep teachers from being asked, “What value do we round to???”
Dude thank you Sooo much !! U saved my ass !!!
@bennemann you’re exactly right! the whole POINT of significant figures is to DECREASE the precision of your result, because it was too precise to begin. if both numbers you multiply together have two digits of precision, your final answer can’t have more than two digits of precision.
@tdewitt451 how would you round off if the number is not exact, for instance converting Mount Everest to meters from feet to the correct number of SF
29028ft = 8847.73m ?
Oh, now I get it. :0
AAAAAh I have a TEST tomorrow.
Thank you! I have a quiz on Monday about this.
@TheIkitta if that already makes sense to you, go for it. i talk more about that approach in my video “scientific notation and significant zeros (1.8).”
professor john mayer
@aznxboy1228 no. watch my video “add and subtract with significant figures (1.6)”
You taught me more in 7 minutes than my teacher could in a whole class.
@TheIkitta: Yes it’s right
omg u should become a teacher this help me so much
Why did you add the zeros after the multiplication and not the division?
@hupper12345 2 — it’s always the lowest
1600 is 4 s.f., since zeros only don’t count infront of the others, like 0.5 (1s.f.)
1600 in 2s.f. should be 1.6×10^3, as Thelkitta said.
Thanks!
Yay
MUCH BETTER THAN MY MATHS TEACHER
wow you made it so much simpler than my chem teacher :b thank you so much!!!!!
@Allison0776 yes! watch my next video, significant figures 1.2. i have a whole series of sig fig videos, you can watch them in order and everything should make sense!
@hupper12345 watch the next video, significant figures 1.2
very helpful ! thank you.
but accoring to my book 3.385 will be round into 3.38 i.e if the digit is Even before 5 then that even number will remain unchange, i.e 3.38 And if the digit is odd before 5 then it will be round into its next even number.
Thank for the lesson
thanks this definitely helped
YOU ARE AMAZING! ๐
Thanks, that was very helpful! Although I have to ask, did you upload a second part to this?
i’m glad it was helpful! i certainly do have a second part. it’s called significant figures made easy (1.2). i also have tons of other videos on significant figures: you can find them all by searching my youtube channel, tdewitt451
I’m learning this in maths, not chemistry or physics…
Very helpful and straight-forward approach. Can’t be explained any better!
Cute AND helpful.
you are good at explaining things.
this is really helpful, right now i’m supposed to be in college but I can’t afford it, so I’m studying back to take a test so I can get into a University,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH! It has took me weeks of confusion, everyone explained it too complicated. but you helped me so much! A weight of my mind for my exam tomorrow <3 Thanks again you beautiful man!
ty
Does zero (0) itself has significant figure ?
thanks for this tutorial thank you so much! this helps me a lot =)
Thank you mister! You made it easier. :))
A neat thing they tought us in school was, ‘1,2,3,4 were going to stay on the flore 5678 were elevate.’ ( means go up to but yeah)
bro i fell asleep in physics. Thanks a lot!
OMG i love u!
And if the numbers have different amount of integers like 568364 divided by 436?
then watch the next part of this video, significant figures made easy (1.2). and then from there, you can watch the videos on significant figures and zero (1.3, 1.4, and 1.5), and then adding and subtracting significant figures (1.6). good luck!
DUDE U ARE AWESOME YOU SAVED MY ASS MAN, I HATED THIS NUMBRES BUT NOW THEY ARE EASY!!!!! TY
thanks you
omg. thank you! so much. :)) <3
We’re all here because our teachers’ suck
THANK YOU<3
thank you ๐
thank you so much the way my teacher teaches has something to do with the atlantic and pacific oceans and its just like wtf are you teaching but now i feel like i can pass the test tomorrow and prove that she devil wrong THANK YOUUU!!!!!
i love it when you circle the answer
lesson starts at 1:19 skip to there
Love you.
we just have 3 weeks into school and my chemistry teacher makes this sound like is a different language but thanks to you now i get ๐
My teacher should be fire
God bless your soul
thank you so much, my teacher actually showed this to me in class but the wifi made the video buffer and shit so i decide to use mine,now it is easier thanks to you ๐
good thing too, i have some of this in my chemistry test tommorow.
not all of us, my teacher showed this to me. ๐
Everyone in my class understand this, yet no one understands the concept of decimal places, apart from me.
I hate being the odd one.
you help me do my math work properly tkx!!!!!!
so what if you have to find the number of sig figs on scientific notation??
then you should watch my video called “scientific notation and significant figures”
that was exactly what i was looking for!!! thanks!!
i learned that for a number with 2 significant figures, eg ur example 56 x28 = 1,568.. then we should use scientific notation instead of just filling them in like zeros. such as 1.6 x 10^3 instead of 1600, is that correct? should we use scientific notation instead of just filling them in with zeros?
that is a very good questions, but the answer is very complicated. i talk about this in my video called “scientific notation and significant zeros (1.8).”
Thanks for sharing!
yes that is correct
my teacher was weird about the way he put it. it was confusing
you draw really nice circles. =]
yeah, i intentionally left that rule out because i hate it, and it’s mathematically incorrect. i know that some teachers๏ปฟ like to use it, but it was designed for accounting (like rounding numbers in a bank account), NOT for scientific measurements. so if that rule is in your textbook, then maybe you should use it in class (ask your teacher), but i’m not trying to teach it here.
Thanks for the video! just saved me for my exam tomorrow! ๐
Thanks man
If a teacher is looking at this, please know; If you’re failing your students, the. You fail as a teacher. Your job is to make your students successful
Then*
youve actually made chem real interesting; thanks dude
Cheers man, this really helped me underdstand for my gcse maths in 3 days! You rock
You teach me better than my chemistry teacher. She’s pathetic.
Clearly. You mean “our teachers suck”.
OH MY GOD THANK YOU! my chemistry teacher is terrible! she literally doesnt teach anything, just gives us packets and tells us to read it…. and then she gives us a test and we all fail! this made sig figs look so easy! thank you!
Who knows Mr.Nelson?
This video also helped a lot.
Thanks, however, it turns out that that my instructor said that only those numbers that have been measured are the ones that one should consider when rounding up, which i find so confusing. The problem was to convert 1.2 weeks into seconds
here are two videos that might be helpful for this: watch “why are significant figures important?” and then “significant figures with measurements and counting numbers.”
Hey i am from India and you are just too good…i have no words to describe how blessed i am feeling right now..in India students give respect to their teachers by touching their feet….and i just wanna touch your feet….please bless me SIR…
Thank you
OHH thanks man I get it now.
thanks you for making the videos they are very helpful. hope I do well o my test on monday ๐
Im here cos i slept in class
perfect now all i need to find is a video on how to study for a physics midterm the night before :-/
thanks!!! you’re page is making me love Chem !!!!!!!
Safe man easy work helped:-)
or because our teachers give us tests without teaching it
omg need this for my maths exam tomorrow!! I didn’t know it was this easy ๐ When my teacher was explaining this i was wth O__O U DA MAN!!
Thanks you explain this so easy
i guess were are guilty
What if you were multiplying 323 with 26. How many sig figs? You didn’t state that in your video Sir.
What if you’re dividing two different significant digits on each side. For example, 767 divided by 47. How does that work?
super appreciate ur video!!BIG THUMB UP!!!
You are by far my favorite you-tuber, thank you very much good sir.
Isn’t it 1.50?
Thanks for the tutorial… I was confusing sig. figures with decimal places. It really helped!
well you can find that rule in physics book for IB
Ugh, I’m so confused..
Especially now considering the fact that an IB physics book is saying the oposite of what Tyler’s saying… -_-
You were excellent !!! I totally got it with your help!!! But where is the rest of the video I could have really used !!!
I get it now, Thank you very much this will help in my quiz tomorrow 7/8/13 ๐
I need to round 53.97663855 to 3 sig figures.
Is it 53.9 or is it 54?
It’s 54.0
So what if you’re adding a two digit number with a three digit number?
Really helped! Thanks ๐
Im 13. ๐
What if the divisor and the dividend have a different amount of digits (no zeros)?
You’re just teaching how to base and to round off..
Lmao, I learned faster with this video then I did in class… sheshh.
then you pick the number with the least significant figures and thats the amount of digits you round to
What if you have 763/56? There are 5 significant numbers here in all. What do you do?
Since 56 has 2 significant numbers, you gotta round the final answer to 2 digits. The rule in multiplication or division in significant figures is you gotta round the final answer to least number of significant numbers in the question.
this is a beautiful comment.
For chemistry we have to round 3 sig figs to 1, how do i get 1 sig fig?
Thankkk youuuuuuuuuu! I’m taking AP Chem this year and this is like a life savor..Because I’m like…WHAT and WHY?!
Chord overstreet smart twins… Hehe
Thank you sooooo much!
Thank you very much !!!
I’m taking pap chemestry and I needed help
Enough with you and saying thats a really ulgy number seriously
why the hell did the video end that last part I don’t know
Thanks very much for this great video series! You should be a school teacher! I watched a lot of the following ones to understand my homework that he didn’t seem to talk much about. Thanks again ๐
7:06 Lets๏ปฟ take a look…..end No! No! Come back!!
I think I’ve learned more in two of his videos than I have all year in class
i am doing dimensional analysis but like my teacher wants the answer in to significant figures an i am confuse!!!
i love your hair
I am doing a tertiary access course @ James Cook Uni in Australia and you sir have just helped me immensly!
Thank you!
Really well spoken, easy to understand and just well done.
How would u work out one sig fig
Thanks you helped alot with my chemistry honors class. ๐ subscribed
WHERES THE REST OF THE VIDEO
part 2?
There’s a second video.
yo i dont really get it but thats why base god fucked yo bitch
to make you watch part 1.2 duhhh
you’re an awesome teacher
What would happen if you had 0 + 9,384,192ย
Ok, so you can only have 0 significant digits…
So you write the number as…
He does do a good job teaching on this subject. There is however an easier way to remember all of this. Google the “Atlantic Pacific rule for significant figures.” It stayed with me for like 12 years. I just came here to see if my University’s book had an error, it did :s one of the given variables was 70kg and the answer the book gives is 9.0cm… Honestly though check that rule out, it’s easy to remember and you’ll never forget it.ย
I have learned all things sig figs from you.ย What I don’t understand is my chem book asks how many sig figs in 250mg?ย The book say’s, “3 the trailing zero is significant.” That doesn’t make sense to me.ย I thought it would be 2 sig figs. The 2 and 5.ย There is no decimal, so the zero to the right should be insignificant.ย Right?
You’re right! And the book’s wrong. Without that decimal point, you can’t know that the trailing zero is significant, and it’s correct to assume that it isn’t. Just FYI, if that zero were significant, one way (other than a decimal point) to show that it is significant would be to put the number into scientific notation: when you write 2.50 x 10^2 mg, that would show that the zero is significant, because then it’s to the right of a decimal place. Good question!
ย I also went to chem tutor today, and they too said book was wrong.ย I’ve yet to show instructor, but I will.ย Keep up the good work.ย Your explanations are stellar!ย Now on to learning moles…
250mg is 0.250 of a gram and so that zero is significant. I think you’re thinking of it as a whole 250 instead of the decimal 0.250. Hope that helps
@craig hay
;0
lets say i have, 5.61 x 7.891 How would i know how much significant figures to round it to
My Chem teacher said that you always go with the number with the smallest amount of significant figures.
5.61 = 3 Significant figures
7.891 = 4 Significant figures
So your final answer should have 3 significant figures.
you’re right!!! my teacher too!!
Thank YOU!
LOL 3.58JNIkdhuani
I GOT RAPED ON THIS PORTION OF THE QUIZ!
Impressive circling. Whenever I circle my answers the ends never come together that neat.
So agree with the title! It did make it so easy!!ย
what happens if you have one figure that gives you 2 sigfigs and the other side give you 5 sigfigs… how many numbers do we round now? ย 2 or 5?ย
@The Saracenย I figured that, thanks.ย
Ok…he *might* be stoned in this one, but still…great help!
I love you
Thank you so much. You have saved me about 20pts on my quiz and much more in the future.
Thank you so much.
nice, thank you!!!
This video before you become an awesome public speaker ๐
Thanks a lot! I m real good at it now!
what if one number has 2 significant figure and the other has 3 do u round it to 2 or 3 significant figures
woah,just noticed,tyler DEWITT,you know?from bioshock infinite?(please dont be ย reading comments and get distracted by this,continue studying -.-)
WOW! THANKS!
Makes it look so easy :/
This video before you become an awesome public speaker :P๏ปฟ
I thought when there is a five in next to the number your rounding it makes the number even so wouldn’t it just stay as 3.38?
thank u so much its help me alot bcoz no one teach me in my classmateย
Thank you very much for this but . . Seriously you’re wasting papersssss . . I suggest you do this on a white board . .
I am really learning a lot from your videos and think that you are a great teacher but I don’t like that you say “If your smart you probably already know…….” Although I do totally understand sig figs, I’m one of the ones that loves sig figs, it just makes my heart sad that maybe someone doesn’t get it and now they may feel worse about themselves because it should be easy and they still aren’t getting it.
It’s not that deep
you’re*
S-kun ! srsly
Yupp
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and know how. This proved to be a great homeschool tool for me – and my teenaged daughter.
Hm. I’m pretty sure this guy looks like a mix betweenย Samwise Gamgee from “The Lord of the Rings” movies and Riley Poole from “National Treasure”…
do you have to round it all the time?
@*****
The answer to this would actually be 11.3. The rules for addition/subtraction differ slightly from multiplication/division. The answer should be as precise as the least precise number used in the calculation. 10.120 is precise to the thousandths place; 1.2 is precise to the tenths place, which is less precise. So the answer should be precise to the tenths place: 11.3
YOU ARE SO SMART . MATH? MYGAHD ! SO HARD
You are amazing!
I LOVE YOU, THANK YOU
Dude made two perfect circles in a row wtf
YOUR RIGHT!!! CALL THE POLICE!!!
lmao
Thank you so much! This helped a lot!
I stopped at the 2 minute mark, needless to say I bombed my quiz
Oh, Stalin, thankfully you didn’t bomb anything else ^^
this makes so much sense now!
Okay I’m having some problems with this, I understand the explanation you gave. But the program I am dealing with is ย problems like this: 30.053/60.33
I understand how you get the significant figures, but what I don’t understand is putting the final answer in scientific notation with the correct significant figures.
in the second example why didn’t he round the 3 up to 4
because you should write down the ans. with digits as the least no. in the division ( here 782/231) both having 3 sig. fig .. so the ans should having 3 sig. fig.( 3.39 ) but if u rounded it into 3.4 this is not accurate as u made ans. only 2 sig fig instead of 3 .. hope u got it :))
Yes! Tnx so much
I love you. Thank you.
LOOL hes like ” if your smart … ” then he paused ” nah who am I kidding you ain’t smart”.
what if the two numbers u are dividing do not have the same number of significant figures? ex. 678/23?
@Tyler DeWittย thanks a lot man. My AP Chem. teacher in high school made this harder than I thought it was. She was a really horrible chem teacher.
@Asiimwe N. 29
What if itโs 0.8×0.8, does the 0 count as a significant figure?
The one with less sig fig. So ur gonna keep two
No the 0 doesnโt count because it is a leading zero
God bless you. This helped so much.
You are my saviour! XD
on ย 4:11 why gte the 8 to 9 i though if the number to the right was smaller u didnt do anything but if it was bigger u increased it but 5 is less than 8ย
If the number to the right is 5 or higher you round up and if its lower than 5 you round down. Hope I helped!
oh k ty man
@jorge gonzalez u r right……………..its a rule if number to the left of 5 is even we keep it same n if its odd we increase by 1.
My teacher can’t teach so i had to come here.
***mrs.roy***
ikr
Chemistry is hard! Have you really tried as hard as you could to understand it? I’m a pretty successful HS Chem. tchr and my experience tells me that a lot of students don’t understand it because they try quite hard enough. Glad to see that you are here though. Good Luck!
Pranav Nair nice pfp
that’s why i’m here <3
Excellent!
240p, we meet again.
You made Chemistry easy. Thank you
okay what if its just a given number like 0.00012?
or what about 1000? 10.023? What about 3000? Helppppp!!!!
if 0 exists before decimal point then for 0.3521 its got five right then why did he round the no. upto .3521
Helllo Buddy….i wanna ask why is butane is used in lpg cylinders,when we have Methane??????
Big help thanks
These videos really help and I appreciate them a lot
Thanks Tyler, Jesus really appreciates all of your help.
Thank you ! i have a chemistry ย final tomorrow and the only thing im stuck Sig Figs
Sent oun your behalf
Amazing videos. Eloquent, Articulate, and Effective.
Wow this video is OLD!
@Michelle yes…I agree….they did not….but this video looks like it is coming through a tv made back then.
Wow this comment is OLD!
Brianna Hoff lmao
Damn ๐
JOON’S MOON and ur comment too
As soon as an instructor says the words “if you’re smart…” I immediately discredit everything they say before and after that statement. There is no need to be pompous just because you know a little something that others don’t. Most especially when those “non-smart people” are looking to you for help.
Matt Rumbel DAMMNN FUCKING REKT BY A YOUTUBER
dracophyle lol get rekt
dracophyle shut up dracophyle you butt hurt Mong.
Go to confession you need it badly
This is nthg dude my professor said things that would make us not ask doubts when we were young
Cut him a break Draco.
Great video Tyler DeWitt, thanks this really helped me review for my chemistry final.
What if you divide 789/65 ? Answer is 12.13846154. How do you know which numbers to keep if they are not the same amount of digits?
Then you keep the smallest amount of sigfigs that they give you, in your example 65 has the least amount of sigfigs. Therefore your answer will be 12. with 2 sigfigs.
thanks man !
this is better than my maths class
love your channel , thank you so much!!!
Tyler you are awesome. thanks. this helped me in my college chem class.
Like if you’re watching in 2015!
For my chem test, I got every calculation right but I still got a 61% because I didn’t round the numbers properly
@Chito surumi I know that feel.
+Chito surumi I feel you mate…
Imao thats cruel ….. in my school the minimum to pass a test is 50% …. your score would be considerd great if you were here
In my school 60% is the pass mark
Chito surumi thatโs why Iโm here too. I just donโt get it!!! I doubt my rounding.
say if your answer is like 4.70459
and you want 5 significant figures.
@Gokubleach09 The answer would then be 4.7046 since you want 5 significant figures
Can you use ugly answers if you drink a lot beforehand?
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!
OK. This WAS GREAT!ย I can’t thank you enough. My sister-in-law comes up to me and asks me for help with chemistry. I cringed because it’s certainly not my strongest subject. She hands me her notebook and I had no idea what I was looking at. I did a Bing search and found this video and we both understand significant numbers after having watched this series.ย So, again. Tyler. THANKS!!!
Very nice! Thank you : )
you cant leave me wondering what happens if the the numbers of the equations don’t have the same number of digits.
Finally someone actually explained it in simple terms!! Thank you!!!!!
Godbless, I believe this saved my honors chemistry grade
but what about decimals and different amounts like 561/1.9
Yรฉรฉ๐ now I understand thnxโ๏ธ u make it easier for me
I needed this.my chemistry teacher was coming up with the most complicated explanations for something that seems pretty simple.
I’m so glad to have found your videos. I understand a whole lot better and feel more confident after each lesson. you have a gift of teaching.
My chem teacher brought me here, I have to watch all 10 videos lol
+Unlockerlocker Unlockme? Nice screen name.
My teacher really couldn’t teach, his favorite to phrases in class were “it’s fairly self explanatory” and “don’t ask questions”, he also didn’t want to teach the way the book taught, because he’d learned it differently (40+ years ago) and he’d always get his math wrong.
Ur such an inspiration for people like me. When I am older I would love to do videos like u!! I congratulate u on ur success so far!
This guy is Luke skywalker
Thank you !!!!!!! You are my hero . I am having a test on Monday and I had no idea how to do this.

8 now lol
OMG SUGA!!

saleh al-humaid almost 10 now
Tyler, you rock! You’re gonna get me through this class!!
Honestly, I see significant digits as a major waste of precious time and accuracy. But, school system demands I know it, so here I am.
Tap Tap Adventure are they in any exams?
true lmao
If you think that you don’t understand what accuracy is.
it is not a waste of accuracy, sig figs show how accurate you can get with given numbers (usually measurements). The “accuracy” you are losing out on is not even real accuracy because if you do not have the hardware to measure that small, you can not be sure that anything past the sig fig is truly accurate. Sig Figs ensure accuracy, they don’t take away accuracy, at least when it comes to actual applications of math
I actually think these are detrimental in fields like medicine… I can see why theyโre a bit more important with less accurate instruments like a protractor or something. But in medicine, wouldnโt you want MORE accuracy if your equipment can handle it?
Hi, please do you have a videos on PREFIX MULTIPLIERS ? Finding it very difficult especially converting to other mutipliers eg from meters to pico
great!
Thank you! this made the Matildas really understand significant figures!
lol Tyler DeWitt in 2008
dude your a good teacher
Some of these information is wrong. 5 is a tricky number when it comes to rounding. For example, if the preceding number is even then you would have to round down. However, if the preceding number is odd then you have to round up.
There’s a lot of confusion about this. That rule with the even/odd rounding thing was designed for accounting, for rounding amounts of money. It’s actually called the “Banker’s Rule.” But we’re not doing accounting or money management here, so those rules are actually incorrect to use with science. Some teachers tell students to do the even/odd rounding thing, but they’re teaching it wrong. The Banker’s Rule should only be applied to accounting and money calculations, not to scientific measurements.
Get rekt
+William Haydenman – the rule you mention is only applied if 5 is the last number in the raw answer. For example if you need 3 sig figs and the raw answer is 3.435 – the rounded answer would be 3.44. If the raw answer is 3.445 – the rounded answer would also be 3.44.
This rule is used in science and engineering because it eliminates the possibility of multiplying error due to rounding.
I provide my students with the following problem to prove what I’m saying.
Add 0.5+1.5+2.5+3.5+4.5+5.5+6.5+7.5+8.5+9.5= 50
Now round as they teach in the lower grades (5 or more rounds up)
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 = 55 That’s a 10% error
IF, however you use the rule you described, then only 1/2 of the numbers round up – the others “in essence” round down.
0+2+2+4+4+6+6+8+8+10 = 50
That’s right, the error disappears. In engineering when (for example – you’re building a bridge) you continually round everything with a 5 up… the bridge falls down (hypothetically).
Of course any number where 5 is NOT the last number, you would use the rules you learned in elementary school BECAUSE, if you look past the 5 for any other number example 501 is more than 1/2 way to 1000. 54 is more than 1/2 to 100.
I know that general rounding says to only look at one number to do rounding, but what is really meant is that you can’t round twice.
24.549 (rounded to 3 sig figs can ONLY use the 4. I can’t use the 9 behind the 4 to round it to 5… and then use the 5 to round up.
Hope this isn’t too convoluted to understand!
I agree with the rule of 5 in rounding off numbers in terms of its preceeding number. That is what I am doing in my scientific computations. It has less error. But in fairness to Tyler DeWitt, your videos are awesome.
What do you do when they don’t have the same Number of sigfigs for example 61/432
When is then answer rounded up?
Love how I got a 31% on my assignment despite understanding the lesson, then came here to find what I did wrong, but actually found that I already knew what I was doing. Great, I love school so much.
Thanks you this video was well presented and easy to understand ๐
PLS PLS PLSSS do a lesson on wavelengths and Electron Configuration +Tyler DeWitt
thank you so much!!
Do you also know pre calculus? You’re an awesome chemistry teacher and I really understood it with your videos. I’ve actually been starting to pass my exams and I have recently got an A on my test after watching and learning from your channel. I really need help with pre calculus right now and was wondering if you do make videos on it.
Mr. Tyler? Do you teach college students? Are you only teaching Chemistry?
So is 961 to one significant figure is 1000
+Tea 4 life YES BRO
๐
how did the answer in 56ร28 is 1,568 but why did you make it 1,600
+Lorena De Belen There are only two significant digits in each factor so he rounded the second number in the answer up because the third number was a six
+Tanner Myers but with the 8
+MsAwit yes
+Tanner Myers How
+MsAwit sorry I misread your comment… No, not the 8… The 6 rounds the 5 up.. Disregard any other number
how bout the 8
The concept of significant figures in science is related to measured quantities, which should therefore have units. Without a unit, the meaning of the number gets lost. The unit is married to the measurement even though many students divorce them!! good videos despite the missing units!!
i need part 2!!!!!!!!!!11
can you please make a vedio on organic chemistry
i always thought significant figure was referring to women…
now i know!
Lol
lol… I always think of the movie “Hidden Figures”
MrCms007 ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
My Professor can’t teach so I came here
Dude is like the Bob Ross of Chemistry. God Bless you, Sir!!!
LMAO!
lol
Mama Realtalk lol fr
I just started physics this week and I’m learning this here. thank you so much. I feel like i will be the one that understands it the most in my class!!! plus last semester everyone who had physics mostly had F’s, and D’s because they were strugginv hopefully I do well! I’ll continue watching your videos to see if they continue to help. ps. im in 9th grade.
Your’re awesome man
This mans a fucking Genius
As
Wish I could give you more support. I should have given YOU the tuition money I gave the local university ๐
THANK YOU THANK YOU YOUR VIDEOS ARE MAKING ME PASS CHEMISTRY, keep at it your an amazing teacher
To make it crystal clear my question is:why the other numbers became 0 or all become 0’s
To me that is hard
THANK YOU SO MUCH …….
Wait i really needed to know that last part what do i do if the numbers doesn’t have the same number of sigfigs such as 123 and 12
Wow you look different from your newer videos
Be my teacher
what if they dont ask u for a specific sf , what should u use then???
I think it’s a good idea to always use significant figures so that you get used to the rules and it becomes second nature (that’s how my teacher always taught)
yh ok, but what would you use if you havent instructed to do so?
what about SF in temperature???
dishdasha
thank you so much for being so as easy to understand
Exactly 8 years ago today
Exactly 10 years ago๐
nice like this lesson
Where is the other half
Thanks ๐
Will there be upcoming videos on organic chemistry?
You clearly earned a sub good sir.
i dont get it what if it is 324×23??
do we take 2 sig fig or 3 sig fig????
I was wondering the same thing. I think you use the lower amount of sig figs. My science textbook uses the lower significant figure, but I still don’t know.
they would mention what number to round of
240p?
2008 dumbass
in 1568 why make 16 with this 1600
what if 602 x 34? which sig figs should i follow?
hi
tysm for brushing this topic so well … it has become more smoother +Tyler DeWitt
what if The Original Answer is 20 and the Formula is like this a=10,000รท500
and it needs to be 3
pls answer
I actually watched the video you made “Why are Significant Figures Important” first and then came back to watch this video and it definitely helped out a lot .
Why the hell do we do this
I fucking hate chemistry
Miguel Saldana I hate my science teacher she teaches us something and she goes way to fast and says you should of paid attention and I have a D in that class
christian Guzman my chem teacher is like that and if u have questions she will go over it but with an attitude and it makes me not want to ask questions because she makes u feel dumb for not knowing how to do the work
me too
same
ive got a test tmw rip
Thank you for helping this 46 year old through Chemistry. I appreciate your interest from a teacher’s view and making it easy and more understandable.
this sucked
wonderful review! Ive been studying for my nursing entrance exam and i had forgotten all of this from high school really great videos
What about 5321/51 (1 four digit number and 1 2 digit)
You round to the LOWEST number.. in this case 2. Because 5421 / 51. the 51has 2 places.
I hope this makes sense.
+KindredGh0st but then how would you write it? 5300, with 2 “placeholder” zeroes or just 53?
Hello Tyler great video,I am helping with niece with AP Chemistry and I am completely perplexed!! Can anyone please help?
A(n)__________________ is any substance consisting of two or more atoms held together by a chemical bond, while a(n) are two or more atoms of differing types held together by chemical bond.
Molecule and compound
Thanks again and keep the videos coming!!!
happy teacher day sir.. u are the best teacher i ever got..
I really don’t like this. But I am forced to learn it.
@Hankdatank12345 Sorry, but where I am, Chemistry is needed to pass high school, so sorry for choosing to get an education
You do not need to apologize for making a good choice.
Like he said, learn the basics and with a bit of practice this is second nature.
Hankdatank12345 this is basic stuff that you have to learn during compulsory education. Most people don’t have a say in whether they’re in education at that age or not.
It look pretty easy
is he wearing a wig
Thanks so much!!
CodytheAwe5ome Iz Awe5ome

Thank you so much ! this really helped, i have a chemistry quiz tomorrow and I can’t understand sigfigs, now i have some information and I’ll be looking at the second video for the information about ZEROS. but thank you !!
That’s how I precisely feel lol
Hey buddy
come on university is not simply…….
So crap I got 0 on my maths homework because of this guy
This helped so much! Thank you!!!
Good review for chem honors thank you~
I honestly am thankful for this video but once I’m out of college and pursuing my interests, I will have no recollection of this video. But for the time being, thank you.
bowl cut
God bless you Tyler ๐๐ฟ #blessed
#blessed YA BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!
My teacher made this look hard but its easy thx solo much Mr. DeWitt
what if there aren’t the same amount of SF in both the things dividing ??
I just wanna say I no longer have a D in chemistry BC of these videos !!!!! TYSM
very helpful, thank you
Thank you, that was really useful…
๐๐
You explained like what a old man would do -_-
Who else is here because their mom told them to do something constructive with the internet instead of going on fb and talking to your friends on wattsap?
I love you so much for this๐ญGod you’ve made my life so much easier
Thanks bro you saved my life lol
i find significant figures kinda confusing. it seems similar to decimal place but apparently im told that theyre not the same. i researched and read this website i found and i swear it made me even more confused, but this helped a little.
Mr Bailey,
I am only 12 and you expect me to find a video on the internet explaining this in a way I can understand? You’re crazy sir. Why can you not just make us do some work in class about it? After all, we have no idea what any of this stuff even means. Why not explain it in class and *then* make us do homework on it?
thank you.. I have a test next week..
I had a test after this so,I’m happy i watched this
And here I had a test before watching this video. I’m so sad I watched this after my exam >.<
I really enjoy your teach, the last year I was exchange student and you teach me very well thanks ๐๐ป for teaching me, and for you it’s that I pass my final exams โบ๏ธ thanks
00:01 dat moment when you rip bong and then remember you gotta do a chem video
wow! This is so much easier than my chemistry teacher made it sound.
I have an exam on this tomorrow morning yet here I am at 2:00 am, 4 hours before I have to wake up, getting my first REAL lesson on this because my teacher fucking sucks
the man
Question: 56 โข 28 is in fact 1568. If we use significant figures and round this answer to 1600, aren’t we _losing_ precision? I thought the whole point of significant figures was to ensure precision.
Maybe someone can explain it better but i will try. The answer would be 1568 if you were sure that these numbers (56,28) were “correct” What do i mean:
Let’s say you have to weigh something and the number you get is for example 1.5 kg.
1.5 kg is not the precise weight of the object. It could be 1.51 kg or even 1.5798981239821739973129 kg.
1.5 kg is the best that the particular scale you are using could give you. The best approximation, not the true value.
So if you cad to subtract the weight of another object whose weight is know with better precision, let’s say 1.211 it would be wrong to say that the net weight is 1.5 – 1.211 = 0.289
Your answer is “too precise” for the data you have.
It is like answering the question: “How tall are you?” “My height is 1.8123080432905702542304732 cm” , while using a simple ruler to make the measurement.
I thought whole numbers had infinite amount of significant numbers? when is this true?
please please help me with SO2 ‘ a structure im jst hanged with this one please!!!!!
Awesome, took my first math class with Sig Figs and now I am using it in Chemistry and this gave me a great refresher! You’re great ๐
That was very clear and concise, but when you said that zeros don’t count as signifcant figures ever may confuse some people as that would conflict with later lessons such as if a decimal place is expressed after those trailing zeros.
What if you are multiplying with different amounts? Say, 242 x 30 so you have 3 digits multiplied by 2 digits. Then which amount do you refer to?
Chemistry sucks, but you’re teaching is awesome! You made it easy for me, as 123. Thank you!
youre the man dude!
u looked so youngggg
I’m converting 20.1celcius to Fahrenheit. My teacher says I have to apply the rules to each step. But if I do that I come up with the wrong answer. Help!
I fucking hate chemistry. Js
sam wise
First time in your site Mr T.D I think your method of teaching is beginning to change my hate for chemistry. You are awesome Thank you.
still confused about log and 10^x sig figs.
love your videos
what if both numbers had a different amount of sig figs? like 345/12
Does anyone know how to express 99.518 to 2 significant figures?
Just wanted to say Thank You! for making chemistry fun and easy to understand. You are the best, Mr. Tyler! I wish there areย more peeps like you who not only love their job but love to teach as well. You’re definitely THE best chem teacher! Wishing you love and success in all your endeavorsย ๐ … from, Your #1 Fan!
wouldn’t 3.385 round to 3.38 due to the 7 up rule?
uploaded on my bday ๐๐๐
I learn sig.fig. in maths
i hope you were my teacger
soory sir afterall i know that in significant no preceding digit is even then we don’t have to add 1 and you add 1…..
Thank you for this ! I’ve even stuck on this for ages and I have my maths exam tomorrow !
8135+1026
Someone help me figure out why this problem is NOT 3.40 and it’s 3.39! Thanks
The problem is : 782 divided by 231
my college professors weren’t as clear as this dude is. Bless you Tyler Bless you!!!!
I am in 7th grade in the middle of summer I like learning
still dont understand what you do there
i dont think signification figure digit are hard because it depend on the type of teacher cause my math teacher teach make me understand but how he explain im lost
my teacher can’t teach so I’ll be around here for good whiles๐
No help
Lovely!!
hello, Tyler I just watched your TED presentation and I completely agree with your approach. Making the beauty of science achievable and comprehendable by everyone no matter what more important in the long run. Great job!! keep going maybe the Big institutions will catch onto your genius insight.
Wow!!! THIS IS VERY EDUCATIONAL
Wait……….let me just do something
*Clicked Subscribe*
You have taught me more than my professor. I’m so grateful fir your videos
Tyler where did you go? you videos are so great!!!
I liked ur vsepr lecture…nice
You devided the number with same number of digits what will happen if number of digits are different
2017 here.
this is not helping not at all
THIS WAS AMAZING!
Can u plz give a full complete lecture on atomic structure…
pickle rickkkkkkkkkkkkk
So simple! thanks
Thank you for this video people like me who aren’t good with numbers really appreciate it! ๐
Why can’t teachers explain it this easily
This video and your others have helped my kid a great deal. You lay things out in order and make it make sense. Your efforts haven’t gone to waste. Thank you for your efforts. Kudos!
THNAKS FOR THE VID
I LOVE YOU
4:20 how come the 8 didn’t round the 3 up??
Am I the only one who didnt learn this in chemistry and is now in Physics struggling
Upvote because of Lord of the Rings
make flashcards and test yourself for just 1 minute once a week and you will be better. don’t be lazy if you want to understand them
what if the numbers have different amounts of digits
My teacher teaches well but I don’t understand her accent
Just saved me a lab that was due. Thanks, man!
“I would teach you sig figs before I gave you hw on them, but you’re an honors class. I’ve mentioned them a couple times without explaining them, so you can teach yourself” -my Chem teacher
Thank you for your help. This will get me a wayyyy higher score on my test.
i failed at my quizzes ’bout this topic so i have to learn this for my midterm exam which is tomorrow :/
Just found you! My professor is new and me and my class are guinea pigs. So grateful for you!!!!
62/31 =2 lmao
Than you! You make these so easy to understand
Which software you use for teaching ? It’s really nice .
Could you please make a video on Lewis structure??
You are awesome. I don’t know why I’m graduating college anymore. If this video is worth more than a semester
Good thing my teacher said that he was some real eye candy
You sir are the bee’s knees
Thank you so much for making it so easy to understand!
nice video i now give value to significant numbers because my school concentrates on math alot so i need to use it at division
you are too smart
Great explanation! Thanks Tyler!
My teacher gives me headaches! ๐ฃ
your correct, an ugly answer
why chemistry? I’m learning this for maths lmao
Science, where a simple number like 245 can be 2.5*10^2. Which is simpler and more accurate with the least writing?
Thanks
what is radioactivity??
plss tell
Love it
what about if the two numbers don’t have the same amount of significant figures for example 7782/513
Why doesnโt the 8 round the 3 in the second example
I got an F on my chemistry test because of significant figures. even though all of my answers were correct!

2020 now guys
2347? Anyone
Look at this goof
So this is what Luke Skywalker did after they blew up the deathstar. Pursued a career as a math teacher.
in engineering we just use a precision value. For example, at the end of a question it will state “precision of 0.00” which seems much simpler for me.. however answers may vary more with this method
10 years later and your still helping people! ๐
Sir. I have a question.
Why carbon atoms do only covalent bonding in their compounds?
I had to subscribe cus this boy right here will be my teacher for physical science
You are the reason why I always gets A+ for maths and chemistry. Legend and my hero
I would pay you a billion to be my teacher
My professor can’t teach so what did I do? come here lol, ole reliable youtube
do not stop making a video for chemistry you the only teacher I understand you
wouldn’t 56×28 = 1,568 end up being 1,6 x 10^2 instead of 1,600?
9 years ago…lol. This video is pretty old. XD
Thank you for showing this, much appreciated
Your video is good but you should also give examples in which two significant figures divided by 4 significant figures
This had been posted 10 years ago….
thank you!!!!
Whos watching in 2018 lmao same school bs every year
Woah itโs crazy how far your channel has come- watching a video from 9 years ago is crazy considering we have to watch your more recent videos for chemistry all the time. Kudos to you !
this guy is a legend
What if itโs 142.997 /0.987
great teacher!!
Who is watching in 2018 ?
you should start a religion.
So this is what you do when you solving the boyle’s law?
This guy is the reason Iโm passing chemistry so thank you.

sig figs come from the accuracy from which they were measured. So if you had like 2 to 3 meters but you don’t know and you have to measure it with a meter stick that had no markings on it. So you measure two meters and the last part is shorter than your meter stick. You could guess so lets say it looks like 0.6 of a meter. your SIG FIG would be 2! NOT THE 0.6! You could accurately measure the two meters but not the 0.6. Now if you did this many times you could see where adding these things up could cause you to have way too much or not enough.

That’s d beauty of significant figures, they make ugly answers beautiful.
Thank u Tyler dewitt 4 d video.
Oh!
It’s quite baffling to know significant figures๐ถ
But, after watching your video atleast I could understand WHY IT’S NECESSARY…!
Hey! It should be renamed as WHY SIGNIFICANT FIGURES ARE SIGNIFICANT – it will attract more viewers,trust me!!๐
Thanks for explanation
2018?
Thanks Tyler Dewitt
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I got an A in my chemistry class because of you. God bless you.
10 Years later Im still doing this
Speed it up dude
thanks know I will past my mathbtest
can i have you as my chem teacher…
10 years ago woah
I’m a Senior High School Biology teacher but I’m given a Chemistry subject to teach, having a hard time at first but your videos really helped me a lot! Thanks!
Who is watching this in 2018.
2019๐
Oddly, you never explain the purpose of significant figures for never do you once reference the concept in relation to measurements. Not really criticizing though. I have learned so much from your videos over the years and would like to thank you more than anything else.
wow, it’s already july of 2018 HAHAHAH
Oh my gosh this vid was uploaded ten years ago
Significant figures don’t bother me as much as order of magnitude does
I’m like wtf
Why would you do that
oof
Watching in 2018. Damn.
I still don’t understand this from sophomore year college freshman here
What if there where 4 significant numbers to be devided into 3 significant numbers?
Ryan Mark Madiwo Your final answer would contain 3 significant digits. It canโt be more certain than the least certain quantity.
lol….three-point-three-lubblububuh….
Rules to determine sig figs:
1) All none-zero digits are significant
2) Zeroes in between of Non-Zero digits are Significants
3) Zeroes at the left of Non-Zero digits are not significant
4) Zeroes that fall both at the end of non-zero digits and a decimal point are significant
5) Zeroes that are found after a non-zero digit but contain no decimal point are not significant
I GOT THIS FROM MY CHEM NOTEBOOK.

How do u put it in scientific notation
Thank you for doing this. Watched all of your videos on sig figs and scientific notation. Really appreciate this. Thanks again!
Thanks, Saved my packet for 9th grade
Make a video like this but with examples on numbers like 3427, ones that have decimal points, and acientific notation problems!!
God bless you!

Wonderful! Thanks
Hey Tyler!
Thanks for the wonderful videos! I was hoping you might be able to update this video so that it is in HD. I use your videos as a supplement to my class for students who may need more review after class. One of the comments I get is that it is hard to view or “old”. I know the content doesn’t change and you do a great job with delivery – again, very appreciative of the video… just wondering if there is an updated version coming anytime soon. Thanks!
Mrs. Cillis
Wish me luck for my test tomorrow
You keep using the word “number” when you should be saying “digit”. 64 is one number composed of two digits.
The reason why I am passing, god bless this man.
They claim the purpose is to maintain the precision of the initial numbers, yet they’ll willingly cut a multiplication of two numbers to 1600.
Why does the 1 not make it round up/down and the 5 does? Can you explain that to me please.
WOOOAH this video is ancient!! hahaha
where my 2018 gang at?
Just here because my teacher assigned my class to take notes lmao
The quality of the video bugs me. But what can I do? I really need to ace my Chemistry test tomorrow :’)))))

PLEASE do organic chemistry videos
Taylor dewitt you look like Zach efron if its far
Hi
Thanks man this was really helpful!
High School teachers, college teachers; they do not teach. They expect you to teach yourself. They are only there to give assignments and you have to go figure it out for yourself! I find Tyler DeWitt a great help. He is so much better than all the teachers I ever had in college.
I absolutely love your channel, just love it! Thanks so much!
I literally just saw a ad about
Who here is watching this before a test
Dude be lookin like Sean Astin and Jim Halpert’s love child.
Hi from Turkey in 2018 ๐
O noooo I didn’t pick up on it guess on stupid RIP
Excellent
I hate significant figures so so SO much but thank you for explaining it
Hi cicada!!! Enjoy your PSI seminars while you can.. itโs all going to come crashing down when QUINN finds his real family.
I have a test in an hour… wish me luck I guess, lol
A life saver, now gotta learn 3 life subjects :/
Who needs school, when YouTube has everything there. ๐
normally i meme coments but this video is so god damn good
Why did you stop teaching in YouTube?
Thatโs mean donโt call the numbers ugly
Yeah he is mean
Can this be used for maths?
the video was cut
That is the very helpful video thank you so much sir !!
What if it is 4 significant figures divided by 2 significant figures?
I was 4 when this was out
Hey bro thanks you cleared my doubt so i scored full in mathematics
thank you so much i was absent the day my teacher taught this lol now i have the hang of it
Was this made in the 1900s?

Excuse?
fred from scooby doo before the fame
Thx!
this man is a god
thank you for this I understand so much not like my teacher
Thank you so much
Thanks a lot
The fatal flaw in your series about significant figures, is that you never even attempt to explain the meaning (and significance, pun intended) of significant figures. All of your videos on significant figures are, essentially, fundamentally useless and flawed, and only serve for rote learning but not for understanding.
Great Workkk..and From 2008..Im proud of you
2018?๐
Wow this was 11 years ago
You are doing gods work
i just hate chem ๐
M8… this isn’t a speech, you don’t need a long intro (1:10 seconds), most people are in a rush to study or just want the video to cut to the chase.
Bruh u have changed
Thank u sir my math teacher’s a bum
2019 peeps?
2019
2019?
Where 2k19 at
2019 or nothing
2019 GUYS?
Subscribe to T-Series
watching in 2019 this video is almost 11 years old
U are amazing!!!!!
What about numbers like 103, 10.3, and 1.03? Are there 2 significant numbers or 3?
Damn. This is dogshit
You keep having the same examples. For example, 4 digits multiplied by 4 digits and 4 digits divided by 4 digits. You need to provide different types of examples, not just multiplying and divide.
Iโm doing online chemistry. Sometimes reading from the book doesnโt help.
Still best chemistry teacher 2k19
ok so what about a number like 323 / 23 =? how many significant digits
We on the real chem grind bois
Top 10 cliffhangers
Day before a test squad wya
Thx for teaching!!!
What a teacher !.thank you
I have finals tomorrow
what if on dividend is of 2 digit number and our divisor is of 1 digit number
suppose , 21 / 3 then what should we do in that case.
Please make a video of this also. please โฆ…
Hi Tyler my name is Aline I wanna thank you for your awesome videos, theyโre very helpful. So I was wondering if you can help me with this problem Iโm pretty sure itโs simple for you ๐ The “normal” lead content in human blood is about 0.40 part per million (that is, 0.40g of lead per million grams of blood). A value of 0.80 part per million(ppm) is considered to be dangerous. How many grams of lead are contained in 6.0 x 103g of blood (the amount in an average adult) if the lead content is 0.62 ppm. Thks for your help already.
Hello can you pls do a video of significant figures with multi calculations? With addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. I want to know what rule is followed for these calculations. Thank you very much..
2019 ?
Hello from Finland. Thanks for the great videos, especially electrochemistry! I have resently taken those chemistry ones into my teaching curriculum. My pupils are capable of following english and I want to give them another, uncluttered view into the mater.
Significant figures seems to be the only thing Iโm struggling in on my chem quiz!๐ซ
You teach very well sir.
Thank you.
dang dont call the numbers ugly
lol love the show
@ 5:56 he gets 1600 as a final answer. But he needs TWO significant digits. I was taught that every number greater than one and on are the amount of significant digits you need in the final answer. So 1600 doesnโt make sense to me. He couldโve just kept it at 1568, because it has 4 digits no matter what.
Am I missing something?
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thanks napoleon
Gosh!!!!
So it basically Decimal place?
Who is here at 2019 and is not allowed to play fortnite
6:42 what if ur not smart. Will u make a part 2 lol

What if it’s a 2 digit # divided by a 3 digit # ?
Damn I was 3 years old when this came out and now I’m just seeing this in 2019! And I’m 14 years old.
Hey Tyler, great videos. I have 10 and 14 years old boys who are now addicted to your videos. You really make chemistry fun. Helped immensely to switch their addiction from fortnight. God bless.
april fools 2019
Anyone here in 2019 ??
4:11 that was so beautiful
2019?
what if you have one number with three significant digits and another with only 2
2019
Who’s here in 2K19?

Thank you so much, you have been a great help, like really you just save my life. Hope & blessings you and your family. Best wishes goodbye
Omg 11 fast years ๐
This video is posted about 10 years ago but still helps students to this day. Tysm ๐
Why is this in my recommendations
Wow we have successfully just made our answers less accurate on purpose ๐
Who’s watching it in 2019, like it!
My teacher must suck at Significant Figures because he couldn’t round my 68.5635 grade to a 90.
2019?
2019 , any mate here ?
2019…,
Dude U are Awesome
Nice
2019?
2019 frfr
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
just started my chemistry class this summer. thanks for this video.
what if my life is insignificant?
So whats the purpose of finding significant figures in the first place?
For me math is
M-ental
A-buse
T-o
H-umans
Even though it’s science but still needed a computation!
Sir I request you to explain solvay process!
2019 bois?
2019 bois?
2019, hey people wassup
Can someone tell me how to do this kind of videos double screen I need to make some videos for my students please help
this is the worst video fย u
Him:
Youโre probably in the middle of the year
Me:
Iโm trying to learn chemistry in 2 days for a placement test ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
My mom is forcing me to learn chemistry when i just finished 6th grade and its summer vacation.
I hate my life
LMAO my first chemistry class is in 19 days (10th grade)
2019 guys???
Einstein is angry for the ugly number, as you said it
Who else didnโt pay attention in class
This is the whitest video I’ve ever seen
6:49 โif youโre smart…โ oh, hit me right in my jellies ๐
2019 anyone ๐?
Well this wasnโt rlly what I was looking for but thx for the tips for the future of chemistry ๐ฌ
At first I thought he was referring to significant historical figures lol
Anyone else just find it kinda weird that u can see time stamps from kids struggling 8 years ago and now their out of college?
Never really thought about it but now that you say something it is really interesting
bro thank you so much my teacher is so fast
Iโm struggling ๐ฅด
Tell me why this guy is better than all my math teachers combined
2019 honors chem grade has been officially saved thank you
harvey dent ass
Use decimals next time smh common sense
props to this dude. he got me through high school chemistry. Currently in college and back for more man. If anyone needs help this is the channel to go to!
Play at 0.5x speed.
Yes but what if you are multiplying or dividing numbers with a different amounts of significant figures
weโre screwed
@kira hiebert oh
He says it on the very end, I think it’s in the next video
I was half sleeping in my AP Chem class so i needed this review
That didn’t help at all – Spongebob voice*
2019 ma dudez?
11 years later , and here I am learning from your videos
My teacher can’t teach lmao, she couldn’t explain this right to the class in 49 minutes but Tyler DeWitt can explain it successfully in 5 mins.
Nicholas R
Lmao ๐. Good luck though ๐๐ฝ
What if I have a multiplication or division of numbers with different amounts of significant figures like 324×23
How many significant figures do I keep on my answer?
Jenn M. The least number of significant number is what you consider. So, in this case you take the 23 which is 2 sig figs
Letโs do that-
i was 4 when this video was made
Saved me tysm
I have a good teacher Iโm just retarded
hi i was just wondering that does this always work on math as well?
I have a chemistry test today so.. here i am
My teacher recommended you
Wtfffff Iโm here after 11 years
he left us on a cliff hanger
bumbk
2019
Youโre doing gods work
What if in your problem you multiply a 1? Do you round to one digit? For example 5,896,671 would be rounded to 6,000,00?
2019 11 years after this video
Amazing, your channel helps me so much. Thank you!

i was 1 second old and he was telling math that is old as me
OMG
Who Watch in 2019 ??
2019
you just saved my life appreciate itttt
240p? This is so retro xD
Significant figures are significant because they were read off of an instrument (always estimate one decimal place beyond what you can read). All of the significant figures rules are based off of this basic measuring concept.
2019 almost 2020 lmao
I have a test tomorrow and did no revision so thx
Finals anyone
Still as handsome and beautiful as God damn ever
Everyone in this comment section is just hopeful of passing their chem midterms/finals as me ๐ฅบ <3
this video shows that sometimes video quality is better than just camera quality
Can you please make videos on titrations, back titrations, and redox titration calculations? Along with enthalpy questions, please? I’d greatly appreciate it!
12 years later and he is still helping students understand
Thx dude! Keep up the good work, this helped me a lot. 2020! ๐
You look like Samwise Gamgee.
Thanks lol. I legit was stumped in class. This made it easy
Hi
I have a question, could you help me please please please?
If I mix tow different materials, such as limestone and clay. Then I mix the two materials as 80% of limestone and 20% of clay.
Limestone have CaO about 50% while clay have CaO about 10%.
How can I calculate the total percent of CaO in the mixture ????
Please help me
it 2020 and the quality of this camera…. is just…. ๐๐
i love you
i’ve signed to online chemistry class, knowing that I will watch Tyler non-stop
January 22 wednesday 2:10 pm
This is guy is the definition of *M00d*
Hewwo by 2020
Trying to figure out if I want to do chemistry or physics
Wooow this was incredibly helpful! Thank u so much ๐๐
Honors Chemistry peeps?
Your 10 year transition is like Jim’s transition from season 1 to season 9 in The Office lol

Wow 8 years ago!!!
Thanks I have a quiz today and I feel a lot better
I hate math all it’s good for is ruining my gpa.
What if they’re not the same number of the two numbers that would be solve?
I luv u
Tyler, I’m a High School Chemistry Teacher setting up to make online lectures for my students. I’ve used a lot of your videos (Thanks tremendously btw) and had a question about what equipment and presentation hardware and software you use. Any tips as well?
Thanks again, really appreciatethe videos as do my students!
Lesson is good but his head is more big………..
Me : (Showing my friend how accurate I am, by getting answer 3.38528)
Tyler sir (enters the chat) : hmm, that’s an ugly answer.
None of the teachers or videos were able to explain the purpose but you did๐
you look like samwise gamgee
anyone from 2020?
I decided to binge-watch all of your video this quarantine, haha good luck to me. I never failed in my chemistry class but I feel like this is my weakness (I even have A grade but because I try so hard, I forgot everythng after exam). I always find this subject the hardest but I will try my best to overcome that.
Any from ๐ฎ๐ณ
