• The fractions in which the denominators are 10, 100, 1000 etc. are known as decimal fractions.
• Numbers written in decimal form are called decimal numbers or simplify decimals.
• A decimal has two parts -- whole number part and decimal part.
• The number of digits contained in the decimal part of a decimal gives the number of its decimal places.
• Decimals having the same number of decimal places are like decimals, otherwise they are unlike decimals.
• We may convert unlike decimals into like decimals by annexing the desired number of zeros at the end of the decimal part.
