Decimated literally means having lost one in ten. The Roman army would punish any unit guilty of cowardice by killing one in every ten men. These days is simply means to have suffered heavy losses.

Decimals are a representation of numbers using base 10. For a number in decimal form, each digit has a place value that is ten times the place value of the digit to its right.

Decimal may or may not have a decimal point, it may or may not have a fractional part.

In the Indian subcontinent, a decimal is also an measure of an area that is one hundredth of an acre.
