There is no smallest decimal - just as there is no largest number.
If x was said to be the smallest decimal, inserting a zero immediately after the decimal point would give a number equal to a tenth of x - ie smaller than x.

There are an infinite number of different decimals. If you have the whole list, then-- The smallest one is the one with the most zeros after the decimal point,or the smallest digit after the zeros if there's a tie.-- The largest one is the one with the most nines after the decimal point,or the largest digit after the nines if there's a tie.If there are less than an infinite number of decimals on your list, then-- The smallest one is the one with the smallest digit after the decimal point,or if it's a tie, the smallest digit in the second place after the decimal point,or of that's a tie, the smallest digit in the third place after the decimal point . . . etc.-- The largest one is the one with the largest digit after the decimal point,or if it's a tie, the largest digit in the second place after the decimal point,or if that's a tie, the largest digit in the third place after the decimal point . . . etc.As soon as you find the largest, find the next largest the same way, byignoring the first largest and finding the largest of the ones that are left.As soon as you find the smallest, find the next smallest the same way, byignoring the first smallest and finding the smallest of the ones that are left.This whole thing feels like trying to explain how to eat a carrot or tie a shoe.
= significant figures = and got For addition and subtraction, the result should have as many decimal places as the measured number with the smallest number of decimal places.
The smallest planet is MercuryMercury
Mars is the second smallest planet, Mercury is the smallest.
64.0 is the smallest decimal
0.0003 is the smallest decimal in this situation.
0.1 is the smallest positive number with 2 digits and a decimal point. without a decimal point the smallest is 10.

0.08 is the smallest.
There is only one number and so it, 0.4, must be the smallest.
There is no such number as "the smallest decimal".Any number you give me, no matter how small, I can always give you back a different numberthat's smaller than yours.
The largest place value is the tenths place. The smallest is, well, infinite.
The smallest number (decimal) is .041
