The term "decimal" comes from the Latin word "decimus," meaning "tenth." It refers to the base-10 numbering system, which is based on powers of ten. Decimals represent fractions in a way that is easy to understand, using a point (or decimal separator) to denote the separation between whole numbers and fractional parts. This system simplifies calculations and comparisons involving non-integer values.
