A "decimal" can be any number which is not a while number - for example 3.4 or 0.7

If a number is divivded by any number less than 1, the result is a larger number.

So that

5 divided by 0.2 = 25.0

and

4 divided by 0.5 = 8.0

... which are greater than the original numbers

But

5 divided by 2.2 = 2.2727

and

4 divided by 1.5 = 2.6667

... which are less than the original numbers

What happens to the decimal point in a number when the number is divided by 10 to the power of 3?

When a number is divided by 10 to the power of 3 (which is 1000), the decimal point moves three places to the left. For example, dividing 2500 by 1000 results in 2.5, as the decimal point shifts from between the 2 and the 5 to between the 2 and the 5 after moving left three places. If there are fewer than three digits to the left of the decimal, zeros will fill in the empty places.
