Are you allowed to have a number with a decimal as a factor of a number?

No. When we're talking about factors, primes, composites, etc., we're normally
talking about only whole numbers.
If things with decimals were acceptable as factors, there would be no such thing
as a Prime number, and every number would have an infinite number of factors.

When you multiply a decimal by a whole number the number places in the product is the same as the number of decimal places in the decimal factor true or false?
True
When you multiply a decimal by a whole number is the number of decimal places in the product the same as the number of decimal places in the decimal factor?
This is not necessarily true. 2 x 0.55 = 1.1
When you multiply a decimal by a whole number the number of the decimal places in the product is the same as the number of decimal places in the decimal factor True or false?
False. 2 x 0.55 = 1.1
When do you use decimal?
When you divide a number by another number that isn't a factor of the first number.
What is the maximum number of decimal places allowed after a decimal point?
An infinite amount of numbers can theoretically be placed after the decimal point.
What is the number of decimal places in the factor 40?
There are no decimal places in 40. Whether it is a factor or not is not relevant,
When you multiply a decimal by a whole number the number places in the product is the same as the number of decimal places in the decimal factor true or false?
True
When multiplying a decimal by a whole number is the number of decimal places in the product the same as the number of decimal places in the decimal factor?
Not necessarily: for example, consider 0.5 * 4 = 2

Two thousand pound is what decimal number?
To convert 2,000 pounds into a decimal number, you need to divide 2,000 by an appropriate conversion factor. The appropriate conversion factor for pounds to a decimal number is 1, as 1 pound is equal to itself. So, to convert 2,000 pounds to a decimal number: Decimal number = 2,000 pounds / 1 pound Decimal number = 2,000 Therefore, 2,000 pounds is equal to the decimal number 2,000.

How can you test to determine whether a number is a factor of another number?
Divide the larger number by the smaller. If the result has no remainder (no decimal) then the smaller number is a factor of the larger.
How do you find the greatest common factor of a set of numbers?
The greatest common factor (or GCF) is the highest number that can divide into aanother number, and not have a decimal (whole number).
Is the number 981319 a square number?
No. Because the square root is 990.61546525379866996907131624577..... No decimal places allowed!!
When multiplying two factors each one with a decimal place how many decimal places should the answer have?
You need to add up the number of digits to the right of the decimal to find the number of digits in the answer. If the first factor has 2 digits to the right of the decimal point and the second factor has 3, the final answer will have 5 digits to the right of the decimal point.
