It has to be a whole number, or else every number would be a multiple of every other number.
No. A whole number will be on the left side of the decimal point. For example, a 2 in 2.43 is a whole number.
decimal point to the left of the whole number. Example: 1= whole number. Less than 1 as a decimal is .00, .01, 02 etc.
A decimal, in this context, is a useless description: a decimal can be an integer, a rational number or an irrational number. Furthermore, a whole number times a decimal fraction can be a whole number, a rational number or an irrational number.For example:4 * 3.5 = 14 is a whole number times a decimal fraction = whole number.4 * 3.3 = 13.2 is a whole number times a decimal fraction = rational fraction.4 * 3.14159... [ie pi in decimal form] = 4 * pi, which is an irrational number.
No. One counter example : 1.5 ÷ 0.378 = 4 1.5 has 1 dp, 0.378 has 3 dp and the quotient is a whole number.
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! To turn a whole number into a decimal, you simply add a decimal point and a zero after the number. For example, if you have the whole number 5, you can turn it into the decimal 5.0. It's just a little change that can bring a whole new dimension to your number world.
The difference is that all whole numbers are decimal numbers, but not all decimal numbers are whole numbers. For example a whole number such as 1 is a decimal number but a decimal number such as 1.5 is not a whole number.
If you have a decimal, it means you have a portion of a number, not a whole number. For example, if you have $2.10, you have two whole dollars, but the ten cents are only a portion of a dollar (and notice, they are a "decimal" -- .10).
(of a number) altering for convenience of expression or calculation, for example to the nearest whole number or multiple of ten or five
In whole numbers, a decimal follows the number. Example, in the number 7, the decimal is after it, 7.0 The decimal is not visible, but it is there.
No. A whole number will be on the left side of the decimal point. For example, a 2 in 2.43 is a whole number.
The answer depends on what the decimal is.For example, 4 * 3.5 = 14But 4 * 3.6 = 14.4
Decimal form is a whole number with part of a whole number.Thos is an example of a hundredths decimal.0.99 or 0.09.This one is for tenths.0.9.
233% is a whole number and so the decimal point is unnecessary. Expressed as a fraction its is a multiple of 2 1/3, as a decimal it is a multiple of 2.33 recurring.
Not necessarily: for example, consider 0.5 * 4 = 2
Often, yes. But it depends on the numbers. For example, if you multiply 1.5 x 2, you get 3 as the answer (whole number). But if you multiply 1.5 x 3, you get a decimal of 4.5
40, for example. Any number that is a whole number of twenties.
It is the part of the number before the decimal point or fraction For example, in the number 5.38, the whole number part is 5 For example, in the number 6 and 1/2 the whole number part is 6
