they aren't that different but the whole number needs to be converted for them to be the same
The fundamental operations on whole numbers and decimals are addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. However, multiplying and dividing decimals is a bit more complicated because you have to count decimal points to get an accurate answer.
in dividing decimals you never get a remainder and in dividing whole numbers you do. +++ More to the point perhaps, you are working in powers of 10 all the time.
Whole numbers can be positive or negative numbers. Numbers are whole as long as they have no fractins or decimals with them.
it separating the whole numbers from the fraction parts.
Very.
One way they are different is that decimals are "parts of a whole" not necessarily a whole.

There is no difference in the procedure.
Decimals include a fractional part, represented by digits to the right of the decimal point, while whole numbers only have a whole part, represented by digits to the left of the decimal point. Whole numbers can be positive or negative, while decimals can also be fractions or mixed numbers. Additionally, whole numbers are used to count while decimals are used for measurement and precision.
rounding whole numbers and decimals

Factors must be whole numbers, not decimals.
No because whole numbers are integers without decimals or fractions
You do the multiplication in exactly the same way. The only extra thing is that when multiplying decimals, you need to place the decimal point (or decimal comma - depending on your country) in the correct position. If one number has, for example, 3 digits after the decimal point, and the other 4, you need to place the decimal point in the result (BEFORE eliminating unnecessary zeros) in such a way that there are, in this example, 7 digits (3 + 4) to the right of the decimal point.
No because whole numbers are integers that do not have decimals or fractions attached to them.
Whole numbers contain no fractional part as do decimals
