The answer is easy if you are familiar with scientific notation. The antilog of a number, whose integer part is n, has 10n in its scientific notation.
Otherwise: the number that you want the antilog for will normally be in decimal form: consisting of an integer part, a decimal point and a fractional part. The number of integer digits in the antilog is one more than the integer part of the number being "antilogged" (exponentiated).
antilog(0.1234) = 1.3286*100 = 1.3286
antilog(1.1234) = 1.3286*101 = 13.286
antilog(5.1234) = 1.3286*105 = 132860
antilog(-3.1234) = 1.3286*10-3 = 0.0013286

If a number has an antilog whose integer part is n, then the number has n-1 digits before the decimal point.
Because it is a point that is used in the decimal system of counting. Decimal means based on ten.
100 is a number, not a decimal point.
'point' or 'and' because decimal ''point''
A decimal is a value, a decimal point separates the whole number from the fraction.EG 12.34 is a decimal, the point is the dot in the middle...a decimal is a group of number combined to make a number problem and a decimal point divides it so you wont get confusedEX: candy bar $ 1.50 without the decimal point $150
