In the world of general chemistry, the significant figures rule is assumed. It's not a great rule because in this case:
.000300 you have 3 significant figures.
But in this case:
300000 you could have 1 to 6 significant figures.
The convention to deal with this is always to use scientific notation:
3.00x10^5 has three significant figures.
