What are decimals?


Decimal:

In algebra, a decimal number can be defined as a number whose whole number part and the fractional part is separated by a decimal point. The dot in a decimal number is called a decimal point. The digits following the decimal point show a value smaller than one. 

For example,

5.15 is a decimal number.

Here, 5 is the whole number and 15 is the decimal part.
