Decimals :-
☞In Mathematics, the numbers can be classified into different types, namely real numbers, natural numbers, whole numbers, rational numbers, and so on. Decimal numbers are among them. It is the standard form of representing integer and non-integer numbers.
Types of Decimal Numbers
Decimal Numbers may be of different kinds, namely
Recurring Decimal Numbers (Repeating or Non-Terminating Decimals)
Example-
3.125125 (Finite)
3.121212121212….. (Infinite)
Non-Recurring Decimal Numbers (Non Repeating or Terminating Decimals):
Example:
3.2376 (Finite)
3.137654….(Infinite)
Decimal Fraction- It represents the fraction whose denominator in powers of ten.
Example:
81.75 = 8175/100
32.425 = 32425/1000
Converting the Decimal Number into Decimal Fraction:
For the decimal point place “1” in the denominator and remove the decimal point.
“1” is followed by a number of zeros equal to the number of digits following the decimal point.
For Example:
8 1 . 7 5
↓ ↓ ↓
1 0 0
81.75 = 8175/100
8 represents the power of 101 that is the tenths position.
1 represents the power of 100 that is the units position.
7 represents the power of 10-1 that is the one-tenths position.
5 represents the power of 10-2 that is the one-hundredths position.
So that is how each digit is represented by a particular power of 10 in the decimal number.
