Why isn't 6.941 a whole number?
The number 6.941 contains digits following a decimal point, therefore it is not a whole number.
The period between the whole number and decimal is called what?
The decimal point.
What is the period that separates two parts of a decimal?
The period that separates two parts of a decimal is called the decimal point. It distinguishes the whole number part from the fractional part of a number. For example, in the decimal 3.14, the decimal point separates the whole number 3 from the fractional part 14.
Is 71.21 an integer?
No. By definition, any number that contains a decimal point followed by any digit other than zero is not an integer.
What is the mantissa of a floating point number?
The mantissa - also known as a significand or coefficient - is the part of a floating-point number which contains the significant digits of that number. In the common IEEE 754 floating point standard, the mantissa is represented by 53 bits of a 64-bit value (double) and 24 bits of a 32-bit value (single).
