A decimal number then has two components: a whole number part and a fractional part. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/decimals\/decimal-place-value\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">decimal place value<\/a> system for the whole part of a decimal number is the same as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/number-sense\/whole-numbers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">whole number<\/a> value system. However, we get the fractional part of the decimal number as we move toward the right after the decimal point.

Decimal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">An informal way to read a decimal is by reading the whole part of the decimal number as you would read any whole number and then reading the decimal dot as \u201cpoint\u201d and then reading each <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/number-sense\/digit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">digit<\/a> of the rational part individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example, the number 17.48 would be read as \u201cSeventeen point four eight\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">However, a more formal way to read decimals is to read the whole part as a whole number, then the decimal dot as \u201cand\u201d and then reading the fractional part altogether but using the place value of the last digit with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example, take a look at the given number<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">25.678<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Here, the whole part is 25 and the place value of the last digit, 8, is thousandths. So we will read this number as \u201cTwenty-five and six hundred seventy-eight thousandths\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-types-of-decimals\">Types of Decimals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Based on the number of digits after the decimal point, the decimal numbers can be divided into two categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Like decimals:<\/strong> Two decimal numbers are said to be \u201clike\u201d decimals if they have the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/counting-and-comparison\/same-number\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">same number<\/a> of digits after the decimal point. For example, 6.34 and 2.67 both have two digits after the decimal point so they are Like decimals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Unlike decimals: <\/strong>Two decimal numbers are said to be \u201cunlike\u201d decimals if they have different number of digits after the decimal point. For example, 5.3 and 6.873 both have different number of digits after the decimal point so they are unlike decimals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"4-solved-examples-on-decimal\">Solved Examples On Decimal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 1: In which place does the underlined digit lie in 56.78<\/strong><strong>2<\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><br><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The underlined digit is in the third place after the decimal point. The first place after the decimal point is tenths, the second place is hundredths and the third place is called thousandths. Hence, the undersigned digit is in the thousandths place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 2: What is the place value of the underlined digit in 45.<\/strong><strong>8<\/strong><strong>2?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The underlined digit, 8, is in the tenths place. Hence, its place value is 0.8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 3: Give an example of like decimals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Two decimal numbers are said to be like decimals if they have the same number of digits after the decimal point.
