has anyone else noticed that if one simply take any number and write it in scientific notation then any 'leading' zeros naturally fall away?
for example .0040400 in scientific notation is 4.0400 e-3
so one would have to deliberately remove the last two zeros or the zero between the 4's - implying that they are significant.
there is really no need to memorize any rules about leading, trailing or sandwiched zeros, if one simply consider how the number would be written in scientific notation.
