to round off significant figures, you start from left to right. don't count the zeros (in this figure, the 2 zeros before the 5 will not be counted). after omitting the zeros, you the count the number you have to round it up to(4 in this case). then you round it up.you know how to round, right?
The answer to this figure will be 5075.

That would be 0051.
After the fourth figure, depending on whether it's lower than 5 or ⥠5, change the 4th number if necessary. If it's ⥠5, the fourth number would be increased by one and is it's less than 5, it'll remain the same.
Hope I'm making sense here...
