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. If it does not contain a fractional part then the decimal representation does not require a decimal point. So the decimal for 2 is 2 – exactly as in the question.

When multiplying decimals where do you move the decimal?
the answer is it stays in the same place.* * * * *Not quite.Suppose you want to multiply two decimal numbers A and B. Multiply the two numbers ignoring the decimal points.Count the number of digits after the decimal point in the number A.Count the number of digits after the decimal point in the number B.Add these two numbers together. This is the number of digits you want after the decimal point in the answer. So count back from the end.Example:2.54 * 3.5 (this is number of centimetres in 3.5 inches)254*35 = 8890Number of digits after the decimal point in 2.54 is 2 (5 and 4).Number of digits after the decimal point in 3.5 is 1 (5).2 + 1 = 3 so there must be 3 digits after the decimal point in the answer.Therefore 8890 becomes 8.890NOW, you can simplify it to 8.89
