Salut Vincent,

To figure out veut dire plutôt "déchiffrer" et to understand signifie plutôt "comprendre". J'espère que cela vous aide.

"To figure out" can be employed out as a synonim of "to understand" (e.g I have figuerd out why my car does not stard).

But it can also have another meaning, "to solve" (e.g to figure out a math problem, to figure out a puzzle,to figure out an assignment).
