Prime Numbers:

Significant figures


  ⌦  To count the digits and look 

        at   the  next  number.  5  or

        higher    round    up ,  lower

        than    5     round       down.


For example


24. 872 becomes 20 

because   24  has to 

be  rounded down to 

the     nearest  whole 

       which    is     20

Fraction of an amount


  ⌦ Divide the whole amount with 

        the       denominator       then 

        times    with  the   numerator.


For example:


4/6 of 30. 30 divided by 6 equals to 5.

You    then    multiply  5  with 4  which 

equals to 20. So  4/6  of 30  equals 20
