Depends on what the situation and number is. In generally, there can be as many digits as needed after a decimal point. The amount is infinity.
Move the decimal point three places to the right.
It moves three places to the right.
To the left of the decimal point, you place a decimal at an interval of every three digits.
Three. This refers to the number of significant digits AFTER the decimal point.
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.
Move the decimal point three places to the right.
As there is no decimal point in your set of numbers it is impossible to round it to three decimal places.
Three. Count number of zeros. If multiply decimal by 100 move decimal point 2 places, etc.
The number 23.124 has three decimal places. The decimal place is the position of a digit to the right of the decimal point, which represents a value less than one. In this case, there are three digits to the right of the decimal point, indicating three decimal places.
It moves three places to the right.
To the left of the decimal point, you place a decimal at an interval of every three digits.
Three. This refers to the number of significant digits AFTER the decimal point.
Exactly what you have when you just move the decimal point three places to the right from where it originally is.
To divide a number by 1000, you move the decimal point three places to the left. For example, if you have the number 5.67 and you divide it by 1000, you would move the decimal to get 0.00567. If there aren't enough digits to move the decimal three places, you can add zeros as needed.
