1003g, the two zeros count in this instance because it is in between two nonzero digits.
in 0.0086 there are only 2 sig figs, the zeros preceding it don't count, same is true with 0.431 (3 sig figs, zero doesn't count).
3870 only has 3 sig figs because the zero does not have a decimal after it. if it were 3870. then it would have 4 sig figs.
