Answer 2

Answer:

The decimal numeral system is the standard system for denoting integer and non-integer numbers. It is the extension to non-integer numbers of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system. The way of denoting numbers in the decimal system is often referred to as decimal notation.

Decimal, also called Hindu-Arabic, or Arabic, number system, in mathematics, positional numeral system employing 10 as the base and requiring 10 different numerals, the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. It also requires a dot (decimal point) to represent decimal fractions.

Example: the numbers we use in everyday life are decimal numbers, because they are based on 10 digits (b and 9). "Decimal number" is often used to mean a number that uses a decimal point followed by digits that show a value smaller than one. Example: 45.6 (forty-five point six) is a decimal number.

Non Decimal Numbers. The number of digits a numeric system uses is called its radix. The radix of a number is often displayed as a subscript at the end of the number. For example 101 base 2 (binary) is the same value as 5 base 10 (decimal).
