About this video
What's an EXACT NUMBER, and why are we uncertain about so many other number? Learn how to recognize exact numbers and how to deal with their sig figs. An exact number has no uncertainty and infinite significant figures. If there are 6 people in a closed room, 6 is an exact number. Think of it as 6.0000000...zeros on to infinity. These numbers are the result of a count or a definition, not a measurement.
