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. The name is derived from "deci" which means pertaining to ten.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
