A decimal, in this context, is a useless description: a decimal can be an integer, a rational number or an irrational number. Furthermore, a whole number times a decimal fraction can be a whole number, a rational number or an irrational number.

For example:

4 * 3.5 = 14 is a whole number times a decimal fraction = whole number.

4 * 3.3 = 13.2 is a whole number times a decimal fraction = rational fraction.

4 * 3.14159... [ie pi in decimal form] = 4 * pi, which is an irrational number.

Place values in decimals?

Each position has a place-value that is 10 times as much as the position that is one to the right of it; or 1/10 as much as the position that is one to the left of it.The starting point is that the right-most digit in a whole number, or of the whole part in a number with decimals, has a place-value of 1.


How do you divide decimals by decimals?

Same way you divide whole numbers with whole numbersConvert the divisor (number by which you are dividing) into a whole number by multiplying it by 10 enough times;multiply the dividend (the number into which the divisor is being divided) by the same number of times of 10s;the original division is the same as dividing the new dividend by the new whole number divisor.eg divide 6.519 by 1.23convert 1.23 to a whole number by multiplying twice by 10: 1.23 x 10 x 10 = 1.23 x 100 = 123twice multiply 6.519 by 10 also: 6.519 x 10 x 10 = 6.519 x 100 = 615.96.519 ÷ 1.23 = 516.9 ÷ 123 which can be calculated:................ 5.3 ........ ---------123 | 651.9........... 615........... -----.............. 36 9.............. 36 9.............. ------..................... 0Therefore 6.519 ÷ 1.23 = 5.3

What are whole decimals?

There is no such thing as a whole decimal.A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. So a decimal number can just as well be a whole number as it can be a fraction of a mixed number.


What do percent and decimals have in common?

They both measure numbers that are in between two whole numbers. Example: 56, (56.5,565%) 57. * * * * * That is so not true. You can have 200% which is equivalent to 2 - a whole number. And 23 is a decimal. You do not need a decimal point or a fraction. A decimal number is simply one in which each place value is ten times greater than the one to its right. Both percent and decimals are ways of representing numbers.

What is the product of any tow whole numbers?

The product of any two whole numbers is the result of multiplying them together. This product is always a whole number as well, since the multiplication of whole numbers does not yield fractions or decimals. For example, multiplying 3 and 4 gives a product of 12. Overall, the product reflects the total quantity when the first number is taken as many times as the value of the second number.
