152.73

0.237948

1,032,741

0.000671

20,000,000

1 answer

To determine which numbers have more significant figures than 522,010, we first need to count the significant figures in 522,010.

  • 522,010 has 6 significant figures because the zeros that are between non-zero digits are significant.

Now, let's analyze the other numbers:

  1. 152.73: This number has 5 significant figures.
  2. 0.237948: This number has 6 significant figures due to all non-zero digits being significant and the zeros following the leading decimal point don’t count.
  3. 1,032,741: This number has 7 significant figures since all digits are significant.
  4. 0.000671: This number has 3 significant figures (the leading zeros do not count).
  5. 20,000,000: This number has 1 significant figure unless specified otherwise (for example, if it were written in scientific notation as \(2.0 \times 10^7\) which would imply 2 significant figures).

From this analysis, the numbers with more significant figures than 522,010 are:

  • 1,032,741 (7 significant figures)
  • 0.237948 (6 significant figures, equal but not greater than 522,010)

Upon double-checking, the only clear number with more significant figures is:

  • 1,032,741.

Even though 0.237948 has the same number of significant figures as 522,010, it does not have more than. Therefore, the only number with more significant figures than 522,010 is:

  • 1,032,741.

In summary: The only correct answer is 1,032,741 which accurately fits the criteria for having more significant figures than 522,010. The other numbers do not.
