Decimal point
The decimal point separates a WHOLE number from a FRACTION of a number. For example 1 cookie is one whole cookie whereas .1 of a cookie is one-tenth of a cookie.
4.00 is larger. The whole numbers are always on the left side of the decimal point. The frations or parts are on the right side of the decimal point. So 4 is a whole number .004 is 4 parts of a whole number, it is 4/1000
To write 5.06 in word form, you would say "five and six hundredths." This is because the number 5 represents the whole number part, the decimal point separates the whole number from the decimal part, and the numbers after the decimal point represent the fraction of the whole number.
46 in decimal form is simply 46. Decimals are numbers that include a decimal point, which separates the whole number part from the fractional part. In this case, 46 is a whole number, so it remains the same in decimal form.
