    Math Definitions -> D -> Decimal

 Decimal


Based on 10

Example: the numbers we use in everyday life are decimal numbers, because there are 10 of them (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9).

Often "decimal number" is also used to mean a number that uses a decimal point followed by digits as a way of showing values less than one.

Example: 1.9 is a decimal number (one and nine tenths)
