Significant figures are meaningful digits that are known with certainty including the last digit whose value is uncertain.

For example: if we write a result as 56.923 Kg, we say the 56.92 is certain and 3 is uncertain and the uncertainty would be \pm 1 in the last digit. Here we also include the last uncertain digit in the significant figures.
