The answer is 3.
Significant figures in a whole numbers are integers on the left of the decimal point beginning with the first non-zero number.
That's confusing so let me use some examples:
589. has 3 because there are no zeros to the left of the decimal and 3 numbers
5089. has 4 because there are no ending zeros and 4 numbers.
5890. has 3 because only the the zero is next to the decimal.
58900. also has 3.

No, counting numbers you can ignore or say they have an infinate number of significant digits. By counting numbers I mean things you count, or non measurements, or numbers you wouldn't round to significant digits anyway . Measurements always have significant digits.
