A whole number is a number in which there is no decimal or fraction after the number or the number is a fraction or decimal. ex. ...-2, -1, 0, 1, 2...
a decimal is part of a whole number e.g. 0.5 is half a whole numbera whole number is just a normal number e.g. 1, 2, 5, 8, 14, 56 etc. A whole number is on the left side of the dot and the decimal is on the right.Example: whole number decimal decimal number 43 . 684
In the decimal number 59.247, the number 2 stands for 2/10 of a whole.
Every whole number be written as a decimal; e.g 2 can be written as 2.00
Negative 2 as a decimal is written as -2.0. This is because the decimal form of a whole number is simply the number followed by a decimal point and a zero. In this case, the whole number is -2, so when expressed as a decimal, it becomes -2.0.
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.
²⁄₁₀ cannot be written as a whole number, but it can be written as a decimal: 0.2
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.
No. A whole number is a number with no fractional (decimal) part. Therefore a decimal number can not be a whole number. Another view: 35.0 is a whole number AND a decimal. The fact that a number is a decimal does not automatically require it to have a fractional part. Even 35 is a decimal number (without a decimal point).
You can't change a whole number to a decimal. A decimal and a whole number are both numbers. A decimal is just a number lower than a whole number, or a number in between two whole numbers.
Yes. A whole number is any number (positive or negative) that doesn't have a fraction or decimal. Some examples of whole numbers are 2, -2, 5, 7, 19943.
2.28 is a mixed number in decimal form and there is no sensible way to represent it as a whole number. The whole part of it is 2.
