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. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. Adding zeros after the decimal point is wrong because they imply a degree of accuracy (significant figures) for which there is no justification.
We use the decimal numbering system in almost all our daily activities. Although computers use binary or other systems, the data are generally input in decimal form, converted to binary for processing, and the result reconverted to decimal for output.

The vigesimal, or base-20 numbering system is based on twenty, just like the decimal system is based on ten.

Binary is base 2, using the digits 0 and 1. Decimal system is base 10 with 0-9.
The decimal number 11 is equal to the hexadecimal number B.
The decimal system we normally use is base 10. That means that each position has 10 times the place-value of the digit to the right of it.Binary is base 2. Hexadecimal is base 16.

a) This could be a special numbering system, such as the Dewey Decimal System used in libraries. Such as 620.105.3.1.b) Or do you refer to repeating decimals, such as 6.304 304 304.
That is related to the fact that our numbering system - the decimal system - is based on powers of 10.

A numbering system based on 10 as the base unit and multiples of it. 10, 100. 1,000
The Egyptian numbering system most closely resembled the base-10 system, similar to our modern decimal system. It utilized distinct symbols for different powers of ten, such as units, tens, hundreds, and higher values, allowing for a straightforward representation of numbers. However, unlike the positional nature of the modern decimal system, the Egyptian system was additive and required the combination of symbols to express larger numbers.
