Decimal representation

Decimal representation is a way of expressing numbers using a system based on ten, called the decimal system. It uses digits 0 through 9 and a decimal point to separate whole numbers from fractional parts. For example, in the number 12.34, "12" is the whole part, and ".34" is the fractional part, representing parts of a whole. Each digit's position indicates its value, with places to the left representing larger powers of ten and places to the right representing fractions like tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. This system is widely used because it aligns with human counting and daily measurements.
