Do you use temperature values when recording your answer with the correct amount of significant figures?

For example: a gas system has volume, moles, and temperature of 6.60 L, 0.477 moles, and -47 degrees celsius, respectively. What is the pressure in torr? So, you use pv=nrt, etc and you get your answer, but do you even consider the 47 degrees celsius in the answer when trying to put your answer in the correct significant figures?
