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.

in sig figs world 0's are ugly. write it in scientific notation
