Significant Digits

aka Sig Digs. I'm supposed to have learned them in Chemistry, and seeing as I skipped chem to take physics, I'm the only one that doesn't understand what the heck I'm doing. I've got the gist of it, but here's an example of the type of problem that goes right over my head. 204m^2 / 10.0m This, apparently is different than: 204m^2 / 10m and both of those are different than: 204m^2 / 10.m So ummm... I'm lost as to how those result in different numbers with different amounts of significant digits. Help would be GREATLY appreciated.:S
