Chemistry significant figures clarification

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-09-23] [Hit: ]
= 0.the number with the LEAST amount of sig figs, has 7 sig figs if I am correct--but from what I know the answer has only 4 sig figs?so would I leave the answer as is? or would I add 3 more 0s to it to make it 7, but I thought that trailing 0s didnt count as significant figures.......
If I were to account for sig figs in this question:

0.002650103...cm^3 / 333.4084 cm^2

= 0.000007948 cm

the number with the LEAST amount of sig figs, has 7 sig figs if I am correct--but from what I know the answer has only 4 sig figs?
so would I leave the answer as is? or would I add 3 more 0s to it to make it 7, but I thought that trailing 0s didn't count as significant figures.
