There is no such thing.Choose any positive decimal - as small as you want. You can always create one that is even smaller, for instance, dividing it by 10 (adding an additional zero after the decimal point). For example, if you choose 0.000001, you can create a smaller decimal if you divide it by ten: 0.0000001. Since it is ALWAYS smaller to create an even smaller positive decimal, it follows that there is no smallest such decimal.

There is no such decimal. You can always find a smaller decimal greater than zero but less than the given decimal, eg by dividing by 10.

There is no such number since there are infinitely many decimal numbers which will be smaller than any number that you care to nominate as being the smallest.
