Please clarify on the basis of what information you want to find the decimal point.
Consider the numbers A and B where A has m digits after the decimal point and B has n digits.Then find the multiple A'*B' where A' is A without its decimal point, and B' is B without its decimal point.In that answer insert the decimal point so that there are (m+n) digits after the decimal point.
It is a requirement to find a decimal representation which has only a finite number of digits after the decimal point.
There are several ways. My preference with terminating decimals, is to carry out the division using the divisor without a decimal point. Then if the divisor had n digits after the decimal point, it is to move the decimal point in the quotient n places to the left.So, to calculate 18/4.32,first find 18/432 = 0.0416... with the 6 repeating4.32 has two digits after the decimal point so move the decimal point two digits to the left to give the final answer as 4.16 with the 6 repeating.
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.
The third digit to the left of the decimal point is the hundreds place.
To convert a percent to a decimal, express the percent as a decimal then move the decimal point to the left two places:0.71% = 0.0071
To convert a percent to a decimal, express the percent as a decimal then move the decimal point to the left two places:0.23% = 0.0023
To convert a percent to a decimal, express the percent as a decimal then move the decimal point to the left two places:500.0% = 5.00
Everywhere. Each and every point on a number line is a fraction and also a decimal.
Always. To convert a decimal to a percentage, all you need to do is to move the decimal point two places to the right.
You align their decimal points. Sum the numbers as normal and, in the answer, place the decimal point so that it lines up with those of the summands.
A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. So all the whole numbers that we normally use are decimal numbers - because we usually count in units and tens (and hundreds, thousands, and so on). A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. The question concerns decimal fractions rather than decimal numbers.Mathematically, removing the decimal point and fractional representation makes no difference. Some people find it easier to determine the position of the decimal point in the quotient if the denominator is not a decimal fraction. That is all!
